Question

One canned juice drink is 25% orange juice; another is 10% orange juice . How many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 15L that is 24% orange juice?

Answer 1

for the first juice drink xLT
for the second juice drink yLT.

25*x/100 +10*y/100= 24(x+y)

x=14y

and x+y =15LT

15y=15
y=1LT
x=14LT

Answer 2

We get (25x + 10y)/(x+y) = 24 and x+y = 15.

Therefore, we plug in x+y = 15 and x = 15-y into our equation to get:
15*24 = 25 (15-y) +10y which equals 360 = 375 - 15y, or y = 1.
If y = 1, then x= 14

The answer is 14L of 25% juice and 1L of 10% juice
