\n" ); document.write( "Here is a quick informal solution, if formal algebra is not required.

\n" ); document.write( "(1) 95% is 3/4 of the way from 80% to 100% (picture the three percentages 80, 95, and 100 on a number line, if it helps)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) Therefore 3/4 of the total 220 pints should be the 100% fruit juice

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 3/4 of 220 pints, or 165 pints, of the 100% fruit juice; the other 55 pints of the 80% fruit juice.

\n" ); document.write( "CHECK: 1.00(165)+.80(55)=165+44=209
\n" ); document.write( ".95(220)=209

\n" ); document.write( "
