Answer:

69 ounces of the 49% sugar solution and

18 ounces of the 20% sugar solution

Step-by-step explanation:
\begin{gathered} 0.49x+0.20y=87(0.26)=22.62..................(1) \\ x+y=87.....................................................(2) \\ \\ From\text{ \lparen2\rparen} \\ y=87-x \\ 0.49x+0.20(87-x)=22.62 \\ 0.29x=5.22 \\ x=(5.22)/(0.29)=18 \\ \\ \\ Substitute\text{ x = 60 into \lparen2\rparen} \\ 18+y=87 \\ y=87-18=69 \end{gathered}
