Juice-O-Rama is a refreshment stand specializing in a fruit drink mixture of orange juice and prune juice. The orange juice costs $1.20 per liter and the prune juice costs $1.40 per liter. If they need 8 liters of the final drink at a cost of $1.24 per liter, how many liters of each juice will they need to make their specialty drink?

I just wanted to check my formula that I will be using to solve, and to make sure it is right. I got

1.20x+1.40y=9.92
x+y=1.24

@lalaly Could you check this real quick?

lalaly · Answer

second one should be x+y=8 because
u are assuming ythat
 x= liters of orange juice
y=liters of prune juice
so their sum should be only liters not $
