Question 321748: Maple syrup worth $6.00 a gallon and corn syrup worth .80 cents a gallon are used to make a mixture worth $2.36 a gallon. How many gallons of each kind of syrup are needed to make 50 gallons of the mixture? Answer by galactus(183) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let m = # gallons of maple syrup.
Since there is 50 gallon to be made, the amount of corn syrup would be 50-m
So, we have 6m+.80(50-m)=2.36(50)
m=15 gallons ample syrup. That means there are 35 gallons of cron syrup.
