grade B syrup sells for $1.35/L less then grade A syrup.if 80L of grade B syrup is mixed with 40 L of Grade A syrup, the resulting mixture will be worth $1.85/L. what is the unit price for the two grades of syrup?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = price of grade A syrup
\n" ); document.write( "Then (x-1.35) = price of the grade B syrup
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "B stuff + A stuff = $1.85 stuff
\n" ); document.write( "80(x-1.35) + 40x = 1.85(80+40)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "80x - 108 + 40x = 1.85(120)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "120x - 108 = 222
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "120x = 222 + 108
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "120x = 330
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 330/120
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = $2.75, price of the A syrup
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2.75 - 1.35 = $1.40 is the price of B syrup
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "1.4(80) + 2.75(40) = 1.85(120)
\n" ); document.write( " 112 + 110 = 222; confirms our solutions. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
