Answer 5

There are a few... Here's the first:

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?

Answer 6

I have no clue how to even START this... :(

Answer 7

if they need 8 liters of 2 juices that makes 4 liters of each

Answer 8

okay...

Answer 9

1.20 x 4 = $
1.24 x 4 = $
$ + $ = ?

Answer 10

what's the $ for?

Answer 11

? / 8 = amount per liter

Answer 12

just used it rather than a ?

Answer 13

I'm lost...

Answer 14

1.20 is the amount per liter for orange juice and
1.24 is the amount per liter for orange juice

Answer 15

right

Answer 16

wait 1.40 is for prune

Answer 17

so 1.2 is orange 1.4 is prune and 1.24 is the mix?

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

now if you were to get 8 liters of the mix you would need a certain amount of each juice to get $1.24 in profit from each liter of the mix

Answer 20

yeah, but how do you figure that out?

Answer 21

well i usually just go through all the possibilities and just plug them in to find the one i need
1.2a + 1.4p = x
a + p = 8
x / 8 = 1.24
