You can put this solution on YOUR website! suppose you want to combine two types of fruit drink to creat 24 kilograms of a drink that will be 5% sugar by weight. fruit drink A is 4% sugar by weight, and fruit drink B is 8% sugar by weight
--------------
Equation:
sugar + sugar = sugar
0.04x + 0.08(24-x) = 0.05*24
---------
Multiply thru by 100 to get:
4x + 8*24 - 8x = 5*24
-4x = -3*24
x = 18 kg (amt. of 4% drink)
---
24-x = 6 kg (amt. of 8% drink)
