Question

For her end of the year party Adriana mixed 6 L of Brand A juice with 9 L of Brand B juice. Brand A contains 52% fruit juice and Brand B contains 12% fruit juice. What percent of the mixture is fruit juice?

A. 28%
B. 20%
c. 30%

Answer 1

To find the percent of fruit juice in the mixture, we need to find the total amount of fruit juice in the mixture and divide it by the total volume of the mixture.

The amount of fruit juice in 6 L of Brand A is 0.52 x 6 = 3.12 L

The amount of fruit juice in 9 L of Brand B is 0.12 x 9 = 1.08 L

The total amount of fruit juice in the mixture is 3.12 L + 1.08 L = 4.20 L

The total volume of the mixture is 6 L + 9 L = 15 L

The percent of fruit juice in the mixture is (4.20 L / 15 L) x 100% = 28%

Therefore, the answer is A. 28%.
