Hi,

one canned juice drink is 30% orange juice another is 10% orange juice. 

How many liters of each:  highlight%28x%29  and highlight%2820L-x%29%29

should be mixed together in order to get 20L that is 16% orange juice?

Question states*** 

.30x+%2B+.10%2820-x%29+=+.16%2A20  ||Solve for x and find (20L-x) as well

for ex:   x = 6L, amount of 30% solution  and 14L the amount of 10% solution
