Question 800835
This is a mixture problem in which the concentration will be cents per ounce of juice mixture.


H = 13 cents per ounce, apple juice
T = 10 cents per ounce, drink mixture, target
L = 4 cents per ounce, apple drink
'
1 can of drink mixture to be 8 ounces size.
M = 8 ounce
Let x = ounces of the apple drink at L price
Let y = ounces of apple juice at H price


{{{(Lx+Hy)/M=T}}} and  {{{x+y=8}}}


In the practical reality, the juice company needs to know how many of these 8 ounce cans will be planned for.  Also, the quantity units should be fluid ounces because most likely the cans are packed by volume, and not by weight.


Solve the system for x and y.
