Q. (99) Jace mixed 1717 gallons of two fruit drink brands. Brand A contains 14% 14 \% fruit juice and Brand B B contains 48% 48 \% fruit juice. If the resulting mixture contains 30% 30 \% fruit juice, how many gallons of each should he use?\newlineLet \qquad = = \qquad and Let \qquad +L= \square+L=\square \newline(1313) (1414)
  1. Define Variables: Let xx be the gallons of Brand A and yy be the gallons of Brand B. We know that x+y=17x + y = 17 gallons.
  2. Set up Juice Content Equation: Set up the equation for the juice content: 0.14x0.14x (juice from Brand A) + 0.48y0.48y (juice from Brand B) = 0.30×170.30 \times 17 (total juice in the mixture).
  3. Substitute Variables: Substitute y=17xy = 17 - x into the juice content equation: 0.14x+0.48(17x)=5.10.14x + 0.48(17 - x) = 5.1.
  4. Simplify and Solve: Simplify and solve for xx: 0.14x+8.160.48x=5.10.14x + 8.16 - 0.48x = 5.1, 0.34x+8.16=5.1-0.34x + 8.16 = 5.1, 0.34x=3.06-0.34x = -3.06, x=9x = 9 gallons.
