Question

A 12-ounce cup of juice contains 70 percent fruit and 30 percent water. If combined with 16 ounces of juice that contain 10 percent fruit and 90 percent water, what portion of the mixture is fruit?
Write the answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

The portion of the mixture that is fruit to the nearest hundredth is 10.00 ounces

Percentage

12 ounce juice:

• Water = 30%
• Fruits = 70%

= 70/100 × 12

= 0.7 × 12

= 8.4 ounces

Water = 30%

16 ounces;

• Water = 90%
• Fruits = 10%

= 10/100 × 16

= 0.1 × 16

= 1.6 ounces

Portion of mixture that is fruits = 8.4 ounces + 1.6 ounces

= 10.00 ounces
