Answers
Damon
x liters of .15 oj
then (10-x) of .05 oj
amount of oj in final = .15 x + .05(10-x)
= .09 *10 = .9
so
.15 x +.5 - .05x = .9
.1 x = .4
x = 4 liters of .15
then
6 liters of .05
then (10-x) of .05 oj
amount of oj in final = .15 x + .05(10-x)
= .09 *10 = .9
so
.15 x +.5 - .05x = .9
.1 x = .4
x = 4 liters of .15
then
6 liters of .05
