Plenty of problems for the Royal Fruit Company have come up on this site. They are usually the same problems, just with different given values.


This example,
CONC.%         PINTS        PURE JUICE
  40            70-v        40(70-v)
  65             v          65v
  55            70          55*70

highlight_green%2840%2870-v%29%2B65v=55%2A70%29
Solve for v. Save all computations for later.
