Question 273869: James mixed together 8L of Brand A fruit drink and 2L of Brand B fruit drink which contains 10% fruit juice. Find the percent fruit juice in Brand A if the mixture contained 34% fruit juice.
I tried this: Let X=percent of fruit juice in Brand A.
Brand A: .10(2L) Brand B: 8L(X) Both: .34
I tried converting the percentages to decimals.
Then I did this: 8LX+.1(2L)=.34 8LX+.2L=.34
I got stuck here but I think that I had gotten much of it wrong in terms of solving it. Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
