Step-by-step explanation:
The troop wants to sell a minimum of 1,000 boxes, so we're looking for the smallest number of boxes they can sell and still meet the goal. Since there are 13 girls in the troop, take the ceiling (round up to the nearest whole number) of 1,000 divided by 13:
Answer:
First type of fruit drinks: 48 pints
Second type of fruit drinks: 32 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call A the amount of first type of fruit drinks. 55% pure fruit juice
Let's call B the amount of second type of fruit drinks. 80% pure fruit juice
The resulting mixture should have 65% pure fruit juice and 80 pints.
Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:
Then the total amount of pure fruit juice in the mixture will be:
Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.8 and add it to the second equation:
+
--------------------------------------
We substitute the value of A into one of the two equations and solve for B.
