Question 1081285: Abhasra asked you to make 25 gal. of fruit punch that contains 50% fruit juice by mixing together some Sweet Tropical Fruit Punch and some grape juice. How much of each ingredient do yo need if the Sweet Tropical Fruit Punch contains 25% juice? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the amount of Sweet Tropical Fruit Punch. Then the amount of pure grape juice would be 25-n. So:
.25n+25-n=25(.5)
.75n=12.5
n=16.6666667
You need 16-2/3 gal. of Sweet Tropical punch, and 8-1/3 gal pure grape juice for your mix. ☺☺☺☺
