Answer:
$46
Step-by-step explanation:
A percent is a portion of 100. If we receive 25% off then we pay 75% of the price. 100%-25%=75%. $34.50 is 75% of the original price. We find the new price through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare percent over percent to an equal ratio of $ to $.
I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.
I now solve for y by dividing by 75.
The original price was $46.
We know that 20% of the first type of juice is pure fruit juice and 45% of second type of juice is pure fruit juice.
Now we have to make 30 pints of a mixture that is 35% pure.
Let x be the number of pints of first type of juice and y be the number of pints of second type of juice.
So, (Equation 1)
Since, 20% of x + 45% of y = 35.3% of 30
(Equation 2)
Solving equations 1 and 2,
we get y=18 and x=12.
So, 12 pints of first type of juice and 18 pints of second type of juice are used.
