Answer:
14 pints of 20% juice
56 pints of 95% juice
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x be pints of 20% pure fruit juice, thus
70 - x will be pints of 95% pure fruit juice
The equation, thus can be written as:
20%x + 95% (70-x) = 80% (70)

Thus,
14 pints of 20% juice is needed, and
56 pints of 95% juice is needed
