You can put this solution on YOUR website! A regulation requires that in order for soda to be termed as "naturally flavored", the drink must contain at least 10% fruit juice. how much pure fruit juice must a manufacturer add to 900 gallons of 5% orange soda to conform to the regulation?
----------------
Equation:
0.05*900 + 1*x = 0.10(900+x)
---------
5*900 + 100x = 10*900 + 10x
----------
90x = 5*900
x = 5*10 = 50 gallons (amt. of pure fruit juice needed)
