\n" ); document.write( "Ms. Parker mixes a 95% sugar cinnamon-flavored solution with a 90% sugar cherry-flavored solution to make 15 gallons of a new product. The new product is 91% sugar. How much of the cherry-flavored solution did she use?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[A] 12 gal [B] 10 gal [C] 3 gal [D] 14 gal
\n" ); document.write( "

Let amount of cherry-flavored solution be C
\n" );
document.write( "Then amount of cinnamon-flavored solution = 15 -C
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: .9C + .95(15 - C) = .91(15)
\n" );
document.write( ".9C + 14.25 - .95C = 13.65
\n" );
document.write( ".9C - .95C = 13.65 - 14.25
\n" );
document.write( " - .05C = - .6
\n" );
document.write( "Amount of cherry-flavored solution to mix, or  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
