one canned juice drink is 20% orange juice another is 5% orange juice. how many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 15 liters that is 16% orange juice?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Using 2 Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity::: t + f = 15 liters
\n" ); document.write( "Juice:::0.20t + 0.05f = 0.16*15 liters
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the 1st eq. by 5
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the 2nd eq. by 100
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "5t + 5f = 5*15
\n" ); document.write( "20t + 5f = 16*15
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"t\":
\n" ); document.write( "15t = 11*15
\n" ); document.write( "t = 11 liters (amt. of 20% juice needed)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"f\":
\n" ); document.write( "t + f = 15
\n" ); document.write( "11 +f = 15
\n" ); document.write( "f = 4 liters (amt. of 5 % juice needed)
