One canned juice drink is 30% orange juice, another is 10% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in order to get 20L that is 18% orange juice?

Answer 1

If you really want an expert to help you, be sure to follow directions and type your subject in the School Subject box. Any other words, including obscure abbreviations, are likely to delay responses from a teacher who knows that subject well.

Answer 2

oj in x liters of 30% = .3x
oj in (20-x) liters of 10% = .1(20-x)
oj in 20 liters of 18% = .18(20)

.3x + .1(20-x) = .18(20)
.3x + 2 - .1x = 3.6
.2x = 1.6
x = 8

so, 8L of 30% + 12L of 10% = 20L of 18%

8*.3 + 12*.1 = 2.4+1.2 = 3.6 = .18*20
