A = liters of drink A , B = liters of drink B
A + B = 280
.25 A + .20 B = 61 ... multiplying by 4 ... A + .8 B = 244
subtracting equations (to eliminate A) ... .2 B = 36
solve for B , then substitute back to find A
A company produces fruity drinks that contain a percentage of real fruit juice. Drink A contains 25% real fruit juice and Drink B contains 20% real fruit juice.
