One canned juice drink is 25% orange juice, another is 10% orange juice.
\n" ); document.write( " How many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 15 liters that is 14% orange juice?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Two equations:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Total amt of juice
\n" ); document.write( "a + b = 15
\n" ); document.write( "b = (15-a); use this form for substitution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Percent juice amt
\n" ); document.write( ".25a + .10b = .14(15)
\n" ); document.write( "replace b with (15-a)
\n" ); document.write( ".25a + .10(15-a) = 2.1
\n" ); document.write( ".25a + 1.5 - .10a = 2.1
\n" ); document.write( ".25a - .10a = 2.1 - 1.5
\n" ); document.write( ".15a = .6
\n" ); document.write( "a = .6/.15
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4 liter so 25% juice
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "you can find b, the amt of 10% juice
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
