Lets make a equal the amount of mixture a and b the amount of mixture b.  You can made an equation .10a+.50b=.20(15) and a+b=15.  So then you make the system of equations:
.10a+.50b=3
a+b=15
I would substitute b in the first equation with b=15-a to get the single equation .10a+.50(15-b)=3 and then solve for b.
.10a+7.5-.5a=3
-.4a+7.5=3
-.40b=-4.5
a=11.25
With that value of a you can find that b=3.75
Therefore you you have to mix 11.25 cups of 10% juice with 3.75 cups of 50% juice to get 15 cups of 20% juice.

This is how I would solve the question.  I don't really know what the question means by setting up a table so I hope this method is fine. If it is not please let me know in the comments so that I can try to fix it.
I hope this helps.

P.S. Let me know if you want me to try to explain to you how I got my first equation.  You have to use knowledge that you will eventually learn in chemistry when going over the unit that introduces you to solutions.

Write the cosine ratio of angle b<br> and show work please
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The formula for cosine is adj/hyp. For angle B, 10 is the adjacent and 24 is the opposite. The hypotenuse ( in this case, 26) is the longest side. the ratio for angle b would be 10/26.
