Question

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 60% pure fruit Juice, and the second type is 85% pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 75% pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 160 pints of a mixture that is 75% pure fruit juice?

solve

First fruit drink:

Second fruit drink:

Answer 1

Let H= amt of 85% and L =amt of 60%

.85H + .6L = 160*,75

H + L = 160

85H + 60L = 160*75

60H + 60L = 160*60

25H = 160*15

H=96

You finish it from here.

Answer 2

L=160-96

L=64
