Question 148285: one canned juice drink is 15% orange juice another is 10% orange juice, How many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 5L that is 12% orange juice Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x= the liters of 10% OJ
.
Ltrs== %Soln==L OJ
==x=== .10 ==.1x
5-x ==.15===.15(5-x)
==5 ===.12===.6
.
.1x+.15(5-x)=.6
.1x+.75-.15x=.6
-.05x=-.15
x=3 L of 10% OJ
5-3=2 L of 15% OJ
