Question 936074: A dairy wishes to mix together 1,000 pints of milk that contains 8% butterfat. If the mixture is to be made from milk containing 5% butterfat, and cream containing 20% butterfat, how many pints of each is needed? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = pints of 5% butterfat
y = pints of 20% butterfat
---
x + y = 1000
5x + 20y = 8*1000
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 1000
5x + 20y = 8000
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
