Question

How much fat is in a mixture created with x pints of 8% butterfat and y pints of 15% butterfat

Answer 1

Total mixture = (8x + 15y) / 100

Explanation:

Butterfat x:

= 8% of x

= 8/100 * x

= (8 * x) / 100

= 8x / 100

Butterfat y:

= 15% of y

= 15/100 * y

= (15 * y) / 100

= 15y / 100

Total mixture = butterfat x + butterfat y

= 8x / 100 + 15y / 100

= (8x + 15y) / 100

Total mixture = (8x + 15y) / 100
