The royal fruit company produces two types of fruit drinks. the first type is 20% pure fruit juice and the second type is 45% pure fruit juice. the company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 40% pure fruit juice. how many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 30 pints of a mixture that is 40% pure fruit juice?

6 pints of 20% pure fruit juice and 24 pints of 45 % pure fruit juice is mixed to get 30 pints of mixture of 40 % pure fruit juice

Solution:

The final volume is 30 pints of mixture of 40 % pure fruit juice

Let "x" be the volume of 20 % pure fruit juice

Then, (30 - x) is the volume of 45 % pure fruit juice

Then, we can say,

"x" be the volume of 20 % pure fruit juice and (30 - x) is the volume of 45 % pure fruit juice is mixed to get 30 pints of mixture of 40 % pure fruit juice

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

Solve the above expression for "x"

So, 6 pints of 20% pure fruit juice

Then, (30 - x) = 30 - 6 = 24

24 pints of 45 % pure fruit juice is used
