Algebra.Com's Answer #106690 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One canned juice drink is 15% orange juice; another is 5% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 10L that is 8% orange juice? \n" ); document.write( "How many liters of the 15% orange juice should be in the mixture? \n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of 15% o.j required \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The resulting mixture is to be 10l, therefore: \n" ); document.write( "(10-x) = amt of 5% o.j. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "% orange juice equation \n" ); document.write( ".15x = .05(10-x) = .08(10) \n" ); document.write( ".15x + .5 - .05x = .8 \n" ); document.write( ".15x - .05x = .8 - .5 \n" ); document.write( ".10x = .3 \n" ); document.write( "x = \n" ); document.write( "x = 3 liters of 15% o.j. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "How many liters of the 5% ORANGE juice should be in the mixture? \n" ); document.write( "10 - 3 = 7 liters of 5% o.j. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Check solution \n" ); document.write( ".15(3) + .05(7) = \n" ); document.write( ".45 + .35 = .08(10) \n" ); document.write( " |
