Question

Suppose you have one quart of water/juice mix that is 50% juice, and you add 2 quarts of juice and 1 quart of water. What percent of the final mix is juice

Answer 1

Answer: There is 62.5% of final mix is juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of water = 1 quart

Mix with quantity of juice = 50% = 0.5

and Add quantity of juice and water = 2 quarts of juice and 1 quart of water.

According to question it becomes,

$\dfrac{Amount\ of\ juice}{Amount\ of\ mixture}\\\\=\dfrac{1\times 0.5+2}{1+2+1}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{2.5}{4}\times 100\\\\=62.5\%$

Hence, there is 62.5% of final mix is juice.
