Math Problem Statement
a certain drink contains only 10% of mango juice. how much juice in litres has to be added to one litres of this drink so that the new mixture will contain 40% of mango juice
Solution
Let:
- be the amount of mango juice (in liters) to be added to the 1 liter of drink.
Currently, the drink contains:
- 10% mango juice, so liters of mango juice.
After adding liters of pure mango juice, the total volume of the mixture will be:
- liters.
We want the mango juice to make up 40% of the total volume. This leads to the equation:
To solve for :
-
Multiply both sides by :
-
Expand and simplify:
-
Move all terms involving to one side:
-
Divide by :
Thus, 0.5 liters of pure mango juice needs to be added to achieve 40% mango juice in the mixture.
