The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 40% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 100% pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 55% pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 180 pints of a mixture that is 55% pure fruit juice?

you will 180 pints of the 100% juice and 540 pints of the 40% juice

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to get a 55% mixture you must combine 1 100% and 3 40%

100 + 120 = 220 then divide by 4 and you get 55% juice

now you must use 180 100% juice and 540 40 % juice to make 180 pints

you need this because the ratio is 3 40% to every 1 100%
