An 80% fruit juice concentrate is to be mixed with water to produce 10 gallons of 20%
\n" ); document.write( "fruit juice mixture. How much of each is needed?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "water + water = water
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "0.20x + 1*(10-x) = 0.80*10
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "20x + 100*10 - 100x = 80*10
\n" ); document.write( "-80x = -10*10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.25 gallons (amt. of 20% juice needed)
\n" ); document.write( "================
\n" ); document.write( "10-x = 8.75 gallons (amt. water needed)
\n" ); document.write( "===================================
