Question 30 The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is pure fruit juice, and the second type is pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make pints of a mixture that is pure fruit juice

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 65% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 90% pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 85% pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 80 pints of a mixture that is 85% pure fruit juice?

Let x be the number of pints of the first fruit juice (i.e 65%) and y be the number of pints of the second fruit juice (i.e 90%).

Since the total number of pints to make the 85% pure fruit juice is 80, it can be represented using the equation:

x + y = 80                              .                  .                 .    1)

Also, x pints of the first juice = 0.65x, y pints of the second juice = 0.9y and 80 pints of the mixture to be produced = 80(0.85) = 68. Therefore:

0.65x + 0.9y = 68               .                 .                  .        2)

We have to solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously, first multiply equation 1 by 0.65 to get equation 3:

0.65x + 0.65y = 52            .                  .               .        3)

Subtract equation 3 from 2 and solve for y:

0.25y = 16

y = 16/0.25 = 64

y = 64 pints

Put y = 64 in equation 1:

x + 64 = 80

x = 80 - 64 = 16

x = 16 pints

Therefore 16 pints of the 65% pure fruit juice, and 64 pints of the 90% pure fruit juice is required to make 80 pints of 80% fruit juice.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
