Question

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 35% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 100% pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 45% pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 260 pints of a mixture that is 45% pure fruit juice?

Answer 1

first type of fruit juice (35%) = 4

second type of fruit juice (100%) = 4

Explanation:

4×35 = 140

4×100 = 400

400-140 = 260
