Question

Addison is mixing hummingbird food to fill her feeders. Ideally, the hummingbird food should contain 25% sugar. Addison remembers that she has 8 ounces of leftover hummingbird food that contains 35% sugar. She decides to mix some diluted food to add to the leftover food. If the diluted food contains 10% sugar, how much should she add to the food with 35% sugar to get the ideal hummingbird food with 25% sugar?

Answer 1

x = oz of 10%
y = oz of 35%
x + y = 8
10x + 35y = 25*8
