Question

A drink is made by mixing 650 ml of water with 150 ml of fruit juice.

What percentage of the drink is fruit juice?

can you please reply quickly?

Answer 1

○=> Correct answer :

$\boxed{\color{hotpink}\tt18.75\%}$ of the drink is fruit juice

○=> Steps to derive correct answer :

Quantity of water in a drink = 650 ml

Quantity of fruit juice in a drink = 150 ml

Total quantity of both items in the drink :

$=\tt 650 + 150$

$\color{plum}=\tt 800 \: ml$

Thus, the total quantity of both items in the drink = 800 ml

Let the percentage of of fruit juice in the drink be x%.

Which means :

$= \tt\frac{x}{100} \times 800 = 150$

$= \tt \frac{x \times 800}{100} = 150$

$=\tt \frac{800x}{100} = 150$

$=\tt 8x = 150$

$=\tt x = \frac{150}{8}$

$\hookrightarrow\color{plum} \bold{x = 18.75\%}$

Then, the percentage of water in the drink :

$= \tt100 - 18.75$

$\color{plum}= \tt81.25\%$

Thus, the percentage of water in the drink = 81.25%

○=> Therefore :

▪︎Percentage of fruit juice in the drink = 18.75%

▪︎Percentage of water in the drink = 81.75%

Answer 2

18.75% is fruit juice
