Answer:
40 L cranberry juice; 80 L apple juice
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of liters of cranberry juice.
The total volume is 120 L, so the volume of apple juice is
120 - x.
The value of the cranberry juice is 0.5x.
The value of the apple juice is 0.35(120 - x).
The value of the mixture is 0.4(120) = 48
The value of the cranberry juice plus the value of the apple juice equals the value of the mixture.
0.5x + 0.35(120 - x) = 48
0.5x + 42 - 0.35x = 48
0.15x = 6
x = 6/0.15
x = 40
120 - x = 120 - 40 = 80
