Question

To create a breakfast beverage, kiwi juice in two concentrations, 14% and 40%, must be combined into a solution that will be mixed with another type of juice to produce the beverage. If 60 gallons of 14% juice is used, how many gallons of the 40% juice must be used to obtain a 30% kiwi juice solution?

Answer 1

14% of 60 gallons + 40% of X gallons= 30% of (60+X) gallons
or 14% of 60 gallons + 40% of X gallons= 30% of 60 gallons +30% of X gallons
or (40-30)% of X gallons= (30-14)% of 60 gallons
or 10% of X=16% of 60
10% of X= 9.6 gallons
or X=96 gallons
