Thanks a lot. Can you help me set up the equation for both of these too
?
A juice drink manufaturer has found mixing pineapple juice concentrate and fresh squeezed orange juice is the most cost effective way to produce its breakfast beverage. The pineapple juice comes in two concentrated forms, 18% and 30% pineapple juice, which must be combined into a solution that can be mixed with the orange juice. If 20 gallons of 18% juice is used, how many gallons of the 30% juice must be used to obtain a 20% pineapple juice solution?
The other one is:
How many pounds of gourmet candy selling for $1.20 per pound should be mixed with 5 pounds of gourmet candy selling for $2.40 per pound to obtain a mixture selling for $1.80 per pound?
