Question 350130: A bottle contains 850 mL of fruit punch with a concentration of 50% pure fruit juice. Jill drinks 100 mL of the punch and then refills the bottle with an equal amount of a cheaper brand of punch. If the concentration of juice in the bottle is now reduced to 48%, what was the concentration in the punch that Jill added? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The answer in words will be:
(ml of pure juice she ends up with)/(total ml of punch) = 48%
Let = ml of pure juice in punch she added
Given: ml of 50% punch at start ml of pure juice at start
----------------------------------------------- = concentration of punch added ml
The concentration of the punch she adds must be 33%
