Question 1077815: The royal fruit company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 45% pure fruit juice, the second type 95% fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 65% pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 80 pints of a mixture that is 65% pure fruit juice? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the amount of 95% juice. Then the amount of 65% juice is 80-n. So:
.95n+.45(80-n)=.65(80)
.5n+36=52
.5n=16
n=32
You need 32 pints of 95% juice, and 48 pints of 45% juice. ☺☺☺☺
