Plenty of problems for the Royal Fruit Company have come up on this site. They are usually the same problems, just with different given values.

This example,

CONC.%         PINTS        PURE JUICE
  40            70-v        40(70-v)
  65             v          65v
  55            70          55*70

Solve for v. Save all computations for later.
