How much pure grape juice would need to be added to 5 quarts of drink to obtain
a mixture containing 40 percent grape juice
:
Let x = amt of pure grape juice required to accomplish this
:
.10(5) + 1x = .40(x + 5)
.5 + x = .4x + 2
x - .4x = 2 - .5
.6x = 1.5
x =
x = 2.5 qts of pure grape juice required
