Question

How much of a 60% orange juice drink must be mixed with 11 gallons o a 10% juice drink to obtain a mixture that is 50% orange juice?

The amount of 60% orange juice is _____ gallons.

Answer 1

The percent as a decimal (divide the percent by 100) times the amount is the amount of OJ.

Amount for the 60% + amount for the 10% = amount for the 50%

Here's an answer rather than a question.

.6x + .1*11 = .5(11+x)

.6x + 1.1 = 5.5 + .5x

.1x = 4.4

x = 4.4/.1 = 44 gallons.

Answer 2

0.60x + 0.10(11) = 0.50(11 + x)

Can you solve for x and answer?
