Answer:
A.) $2.70
B.) $2.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Smoothie is made from 3 different juice ;
1 cup of smoothie requires 1 pound combination of 3 different juices.
Cost of 1 pound of apple juice = $1
Cost of 1 pound of orange juice = $2
Cost of 1 pound of peach juice = $4
A.) What would be the price of the smoothie if Booster Juice makes the smoothie by combining 30% of apple juice, 20% orange juice and 50% of the peach juice.
30% of 1 pound apple juice :
(30/100) * $1 = $0.3
20% of 1 pound orange :
(20/100) * $2 = $0.4
50% of 1 pound peach :
(50/100) * $4 = $2
Hence, price of smoothie = $(0.3 + 0.4 + 2) = $2.70
b. What would be the price of the smoothie if the Booster Juice makes the smoothie by using all three equally.
If all three juice are used equally:
100% / 3 = 33.333% = 0.3333
0.3333 * $1 = $0.333
0.333 * $2 = $0.667
0.333 * $4 = $1.332
Hence, price of smoothie :
$(0.333 + 0.667 + 1.332) = $2.332
