Maple syrup worth $6.00 a gallon and corn syrup worth .80 cents a gallon are used to make a mixture worth $2.36 a gallon. How many gallons of each kind of syrup are need to make 50 gallons of the mixture?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "{maple syrup: gallons, corn syrup: gallons}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let quantity of maple syrup used be x gallons\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "corn syrup used will be 50-x gallons\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6*x+0,8(50-x)= 2.36*50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x+40-0.8x=118.00\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5.2x=118-40\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5,2x=74\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=74/5.2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=14.2 gallons\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "35.8 gallons will be corn syrup.\r
