Algebra.Com's Answer #714421 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1000 = number of liters of the first juice. \n" ); document.write( "y = number of liters of the second juice.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total number of liters of both juices = 1000 + y.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first juice has 80% pure orange juice. \n" ); document.write( "second juice has 20% pure orange juice.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you want to have a combined mixture of 40% pure orange juice.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".8 * 1000 + .2 * y = .4 * (1000 + y)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get 800 + .2 * y = 400 + .4 * y\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 400 from both sides of this equation and subtract .2 * y from both sides of this equation to get:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "400 = .2 * y\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by .2 and solve for y to get:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 400 / .2 = 2000.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1000 liters of 80% pure orange juice contains 800 liters of pure orange juice. \n" ); document.write( "2000 liters of 20% pure orange juice contains 400 liters of pure orange juice.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total liters of juice is 3000 \n" ); document.write( "total liters of contained pure orange juice is 1200 liters. \n" ); document.write( "1200 / 3000 = .4 = 40%\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solution is confirmed to be good.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solution is 2000 liters of the second juice needs to be mixed with 1000 liters of the first juice.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
