Crisco blends corn oil that is 14% saturated fat with Crisco Canola Oil to get Crisco Canola and Corn Oil, which is 11% saturated fat.
How many gallons of corn oil must crisco mix with 600 gallons of crisco canola oil to get crisco canola and corn oil?
:
Let x = amt of corn oil required
:
A typical mixture equation using amt of fat.
:
.14x + .07(600) = .11(x+600)
.14x + 42 = .11x + 66
.14x - .11x = 66 - 42
.03x = 24
x =
x = 800 gal of Corn oil
:
:
Check this
.14(800) + .07(600) = .11(800+600)
112 + 42 = .11(1400)
154 = 154
