fifty liters of pure maple syrup that costs $9.50 per liter are mixed with imitation syrup that costs $4.00 per liter. how much imitation syrup is needed to make a mixture that costs $5.00 per liter?
--------------------------------------------------
Equation:
value + value = value
9.50*50 + 4.00x = 5.00(50+x)
Multiply thru by 100 to get:
950*50 + 400x = 500*50 + 500x
100x = 450*50
x = (1/2)450
x = 225 liters (amount of $4.00 syrup needed in the mixture
