How many liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 150 liters of Drink A and 200 liters of Drink B? How many liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce aa liters of Drink A and bb liters of Drink B?

Answer 1

a). 12.5 liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 250 liters of Drink A, and 20 liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 250 liters of Drink B

b). 0.05aa liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce aa liters of Drink A, and 0.1bb liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce bb liters of Drink B

Explanation:

a). Drinks A(250 liters) and Drink B(200 liters)

Total amount of Drink A=250 liters

Real fruit juice=5% of Drink A=(5/100)×250=12.5 liters

12.5 liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 250 liters of Drink A

Total amount of Drink B=200 liters

Real fruit juice=10% of Drink B=(10/100)×200=20 liters

20 liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce 250 liters of Drink B

b). Drinks aa and bb

Total amount of Drink A=aa liters

Real fruit juice=5% of Drink A=(5/100)×aa=0.05aa liters

0.05aa liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce aa liters of Drink A

Total amount of Drink B =bb liters

Real fruit juice=10% of Drink 10=(10/100)×bb=0.1bb liters

0.1bb liters of real fruit juice would be needed to produce bb liters of Drink B
