how many pints?

Question

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 60%

 pure fruit juice, and the second type is 95%

 pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 70%

 pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 70

 pints of a mixture that is 70%

 pure fruit juice?

First fruitdrink:	pints
Second fruitdrink:	pints

Answer 1

Let x = number of pints of the 60% type. Then 70 - x = number of pints of the 95% type.

0.60x + 0.95(70 - x) = 0.70(70)

Solve for x.
