Question

How many gallons of 20% moonshine and how many gallons of 30% moonshine have to be mixed together to make 100 gallons of 28% moonshine? x = gallons of 20% moonshine y = gallons of 30% moonshine​

Answer 1

20 and 80

Explanation:

x+y= 100

0.2x+0.3y= 0.28*100

• 0.2x+0.3*(100-x)= 28
• 0.2x- 0.3x +30= 28
• 0.1x= 2

x= 20 ⇒ y= 80
