I have 1 gallon of grape juice with 20% sugar content. I have another gallon of grape juice that has 68% sugar content. How much of the 68% sugar juice do I add to the 20% sugar juice to get a Juice that has 24% sugar content.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "sugar + sugar = sugar
\n" ); document.write( "0.20(1) + 0.68(x) = 0.24(1+x)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "20 + 68x = 24 + 24x
\n" ); document.write( "44x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1/11 gallon (amt. of 68% grape juice needed in the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "==================================
\n" ); document.write( "1/11 gal. = 0.091 gallons
