The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 55% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 80% p

Stolb23 [73]

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:

$A + B = 80$

Then the total amount of pure fruit juice in the mixture will be:

$0.55A + 0.8B = 0.65 * 80$

$0.55A + 0.8B = 52$

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:

$-0.8A -0.8B = -0.8*80$
