Question 1071315: For his birthday party DeShawn mixed
together 4 gal. of Brand A fruit punch and
8 gal. of grape juice. If Brand A contains
10% fruit juice, then what percent of the
final mixture is fruit juice?

The final mixture is 12 gallons.
The amount of pure fruit juice is 0.4 gallons, since that is 10% of 4 gallons.
0.4/12=0.0333, or 3.33% fruit juice. It is diluted 1 to 3.
