Question 1025737: One canned juice drink is 25% orange juice; another is 5% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 20L that is 10% orange juice? Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Single variable method -
X is the amount of 25% juice
20-X is the 5% juice
25X+5(20-X)=10*20
25X+100-5X=200
20X=100
X=5
20-X=15
5L of the 25% contains 1.25L juice
15L of 5% contains .75L juice
total 20 L containing 2.00L juice
