<span>We have 75 mL of 4% sugar solution.
We have to add a 30% sugar </span><span>solution to make a 50% </span><span>sugar solution.
75 * .04 + .30x = .50 * (75 +x)
3 + .30x = 37.5 +.50x
I can't get the equation to solve.
Did you type it correctly? For one thing, you have the percentages typed as .30 % and 4%. Are the decimal places in the correct positions?
Also, no matter how much 30% sugar solution you add, it will NEVER increase to 50%.

Just simple proportions:
12(apples) x(apples)
-------------- = --------------
4(oranges) 7(oranges)
12*7 = 84
84/4 = 21
There are 21 apples + 7 oranges = 28 apples and oranges!
Hey I am just like u I wasn't at school I have been waiting for 1 hour and Noone had answer me I am sad I am going to fail
You could also say.
13 x
--- = ---
1 7
Multiply across.
1x=13×7
1x =91
Divide both sides by one.
x=91.
91 cups of yoygurt are needed to make 7 Smoothies.
Or you could do it the easy way.
