Question

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 got this far:


o + p = 8
1.2o + 1.4p = 9.92
1.2(8 - p) + 1.4p = 9.92
9.6 - 8p + 1.4p = 9.92

^ it's not working (i'm getting a negative answer) -_-
