Chris is mixing 2 different types of fruit juice together for a summer drink. The two types of juices he is using is one that is 30% strawberry concentrate and the other is 55% lemon concentrate. If he wants 2 L that is 40% concentrate of the fruit juices, how much of each should be used to create the drink?


Sagot :

The meaning of the solution is; Therefore, 1.2 liters of the strawberry concentrate and 0.8 liters of the lemon concentrate.

What is the solution to the system of equations?

It follows from the task content that the variables are;

let x be the amount of 30% strawberry concentrate.

let y be the amount of 55% lemon concentrate.

The equations of the linear system according to the task content are as follows;

  • x + y = 2
  • 0.30x + 0.55y = (2 ×0.4)

From the first equation; x = 2-y;

Hence, upon substitution; we have;

0.30(2-y) + 0.55y = 0.8

0.25y = 0.2.

y = 0.2/0.25 = 0.8L.

Hence, x = 2- 0.8 = 1.2L.
