Question 450294: A new self tanning lotion for everyday use is to be sold. First, an experimental lotion mixture is made by mixing 800 ounces of everyday moisturizing lotion worth $3 per ounce. If the experimental lotion is to cost $1.20 an ounce, how many ounces of the self-tanning lotion should be in the mixture? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming the self-tanning lotion is FREE, we get
800x$3=$2400
2400/1.20=2000
2000-800=1200oz. of self-tanning lotion necessary..
