30%
5% Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In words:
(juice)/(total solution) = 15%
Let = liters of 30% of needed
Let = liters of 5% of needed
given:
(1) = juice in 30% and 5% oj
---------------
(2)
Multiply both sides of (1) by
and subtract from (2)
(2)
(1)
and, since
10 liters of 30% oj and 15 liters
of 5% oj are needed
