Too too many mixture exercises and answers about Royal Fruit Company have already been done on this site.


Available are 55% pure juice and 80% pure juice and wanted is 160 pints of 65% pure juice drink.

If v pints of the 80% is to be used, then 160-v pints of the 55% juice would be used.

Simple algebra from here, if that is the approach you want.
