one canned juice drink is 25% orange juice, another is 10% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed in order to get 15 liters that is 12% orange juice
-----
Equation:
OJ + OJ = OJ
0.25*x + 0.10*(15-x) = 0.12*15
-----
Multiply thru by 100 to get::
25x + 10*15 - 10x = 12*15
----
15x = 2*15
----
x = 2 liters (amt. of 25% juice needed)
---
15-x = 13 liters (amt. of 10% juice needed)
