You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.Jill combines 10% fruit juice with PURE fruit juice to make 2 liters of 25% fruit juice. How much pure fruit juice does she use in the mix?
------------------------
Equation:
Solution using 2 variable:
Let x be amount of 10% juice
Let y = amount of 100% juice
-----------------------------------
Quantity Equation: x + y = 2 liters
Pure juice Equations: 0.10x + 1.00y = 0.25*2
==================================
Multiply thru 1st equation by 10
Multiply thru 2nd equation by 100
-------------------------------------
10x + 10y = 20
10x + 100y = 25*2
--------------------------------------
Subtract 1st equation from 2nd and solve for "y":
90y = 30
y = 1/3 liter (amount of pure fruit juice needed for the mixture)
=======================
Solution using 1 variable:
Let x be amount of 10% juice.
Then 2-x is amount of 100% juice
pure + pure = pure
0.10x + 1(2-x) = 0.25*2
Multiply thru by 100 to get:
10x + 100(2-x) = 25*2
10x + 200-100x = 50
-90x = -150
x = 15/9
x = 5/3 liter
--------------
2-(5/3) = 1/3 liter (amount of pure fruit juice needed for the mixture)
===========================================================
