To create a breakfast beverage, pineapple juice in two concentrations, 20% and 70%, must be combined into a solution that will be mixed with another type of juice to produce the beverage. If 20 gallons of 20% juice is used, how many gallons of the 70% juice must be used to obtain a 60% pineapple juice solution?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "pine + pine = pine
\n" ); document.write( "0.20*20 + 0.70x = 0.60(20+x)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "20*20 + 70x = 60*20 + 60x
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 40*20
\n" ); document.write( "x = 80 gallons (amount of 70% pineapple needed in the mixture)
