Question 522561: A can of dolly's fruit punch is 20% Canberry juice. A can of mama Mae's fruit punch is 35% cranberry juice. How many fluid ounces of each punch should be mixed together to get a 15 fl.oz. punch mixture that is 30% cranberry juice? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---------percent ---------------- quantity
Dolly's fruit punch 20 ---------------- x fl oz
Mama Mae's punch 35 ------ 15 - x fl oz
Mixture 30.00% ---------------- 15
20 x + 35 ( 15 - x ) = 30 * 15
20x+525-35x=450
20x-35x=450-525
-15 x=-75
/ -15
x=5 fl oz 20.00% Dolly's fruit punch
10 fl oz 35.00% Mama Mae's punch
