Answer 6

Yuri makes his own citrus vinaigrette salad dressing. He likes the dressing best if it contains 30% fruit juice. He has a bottle of dressing mixture that contains 60% juice and 3 cups of dressing that contains 10% juice. How much of the dressing mix with 60% juice should Yuri add to the dressing mix with 10% juice to get the dressing he prefers with 30% juice? Show your work.

Answer 7

ahh okay....so he likes 30% juice...he has a bottle of 60% juice...and has 3 cups of 10% juice

Well if he has 3 cups....we need to figure out how much of the 60% juice to add to each of the 3 cups to average out to 30%

cup 1 has 10%...so add 20% of the 60% juice.
cup 2 has 10% so add 20% of the 60% juice
and cup 3 has 10% so add 20% of the 60% juice

Now you have 3 cups filled with 30% juice....and no more 60% juice left over.

That could be totally wrong and i invite anyone to correct me
