The Healthy Favorites Juice Company sells apple juice for 8.3 cents an ounce and raspberry for 9.3 cents and ounce.
\n" ); document.write( " The company wishes to market and sell 8 ounce cans of apple raspberry juice for 8.7 cents an ounce.
\n" ); document.write( " How many ounces of each should be mixed?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of raspberry required
\n" ); document.write( "then result is to be an 8 oz can therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "(8-x) = amt of apple required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A typical mixture equation
\n" ); document.write( "9.3x + 8.3(8-x) = 8.7(8)
\n" ); document.write( "9.3x + 66.4 - 8.3x = 69.6
\n" ); document.write( "9.3x - 8.3x = 69.6 - 66.4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.2 oz of raspberry required
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "8 - 3.2 = 4.8 oz of apple
\n" ); document.write( ":\
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check these values in the original mixture equation \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
