5. One canned juice drink is 15% orange juice; another is 10% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in

hram777 [196]

X: liters of 15% orange juice
y: liters of 10% orange juice

x+y=5L

y=5L - x

x liters of 15% orange juice plus y liters of 10% orange juice makes 5 liters of 12% orange juice in equation form:

0.15x+0.10y = 0.12(5L)

0.15x+0.10(5L-x)=0.12(5L)

0.15x+0.5-0.10x=0.6

0.05x=0.1L

x=2L

so y = 3L

so you need 2 liters of 15% orange juice and 3 liters of 10% orange juice
