You can put this solution on YOUR website! In words:
[ Cost of mixture ] =
[ cost/L of apple ]x[ L of apple ] + [ cost/L of cranberry ]x[ L of cranberry ]
------------------
Let = total cost of mixture ) ( in cents )
[ Cost/L of mixture ] = [ C ] / [ L of mixture ] ( in cents )
The cost/L of the mixture should be $2.60
