You can put this solution on YOUR website! .30x+.10(100-x)=.12*100
.30x+10-.10x=12
.20x=12-10
.20x=2
x=2/.2
x=10 gallons of 30% solution is used.
100-10=90 gallons 0f 10% is used.
Proof:
.30*10+.10*90=.12*100
3+9=12
12=12
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In words:
(gallons of juice in 1st solution + gallons of juice in 2nd solution / (gallons of final solution) = 12%
Let = gallons of 30% solution needed
Let = gallons of 10% solution needed
given:
(1)
------------------
(2)
Now subtract (1) from (2)
(2)
(1)
and, since
10 gallons of the 30% solution were needed
check:
OK
