Question 458653
A woman has made 6 quarts of an orange juice punch for a party.
 The punch contains 12% orange juice.
 She feels she may need more punch, but she has no more orange juice so she adds 1/2 quart of water to the punch.
 Find the percent of orange juice in the new mixture.
:
Let x = the per cent of orange juice in the new mixture
:
12(6) = x(6+.5)
72 = 6.5x
x = {{{72/6.5}}}
x = 11.077 percent orange juice now
