Question

There're 30 kilograma of 10% apple juice How many kilograms of apples does it need to increase the current apple juice to 25%​

Answer 1

The percentage of apple juice is an illustration of ratios and proportions.

It needs 45 kilograms of apple to increase it to 25%

The given parameter is:

30 kg in 10%

Let the additional kilograms of apple be represented with x.

So, we have:

(x + 30 kg) in 25%

The kilogram of apple is in proportion with the percentage used.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{30kg : 10\% = (x + 30)kg : 25\%}$

Express as fraction

$\mathbf{\frac{30kg }{ 10\% }= \frac{(x + 30)kg }{ 25\%}}$

Cancel out common units

$\mathbf{\frac{30 }{ 10\% }= \frac{x + 30}{ 25\%}}$

Express percentage as decimals

$\mathbf{\frac{30 }{ 0.10 }= \frac{x + 30}{ 0.25}}$

Multiply both sides by 0.25

$\mathbf{\frac{30 }{ 0.10 } \times 0.25= x + 30}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{75= x + 30}$

Subtract 30 from both sides

$\mathbf{45= x}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{x = 45}$

Hence, it needs 45 kilograms of apple to increase it to 25%
