You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = 15% cherry juice concentrate
10 - x = 20% mango juice concentrate
%28.15x+%2B+.2%2810+-+x%29%29+%2F+10+=+.18
.15x+%2B+2+-+.2x+=+1.8
-.05x+=+-.2
x+=+20%2F5
x+=+4 liters cherry juice concentrate
check
%28.15x+%2B+.2%2810+-+x%29%29+%2F+10+=+.18
%28.15%2A4+%2B+.2%2810+-+4%29%29+%2F+10+=+.18
%28.6+%2B+1.2%29+%2F+10+=+.18
.18+=+.18
OK
