Answer:
The amount of the first solution rick needs to mix together to create the love portion is 8.5 mL
Explanation:
So as to make the love potion, we have;
The percentage of carbonated water in the love portion = 40%
The percentage of green tea in the first solution = 65%
The percentage of carbonated water in the first solution = 15%
The percentage of whole milk in the first solution = 20%
The percentage of orange juice in the second solution = 17%
The percentage of lemonade in the second solution = 38%
The percentage of carbonated water in the second solution = 45%
Let 'x' represent the volume in mL of the first solution added to make the love portion, and let 'y' be the volume in mL of the second solution added to make the love portion, we have;
x + y = 51...(1)
0.15·x + 0.45·y = 0.40×51 = 20.4
0.15·x + 0.45·y = 20.4...(2)
Solving the system of simultaneous equation by making 'y' the subject of each of the equation gives;
For equation (1)
y = 51 - x
For equation (2)
y = 20.4/0.45 - (0.15/0.45)·x = 136 - 3·x
y = 136/3 - (1/3)·x
Equating the two equations of 'y', gives;
51 - x = 136/3 - (1/3)·x
51 - 136/3 = x - (1/3)·x
17/3 = (2/3)·x
(2/3)·x = 17/3
x = (3/2) × (17/3) = 17/2 = 8.5
x = 8.5
y = 51 - x = 42.5
y = 42.5
Therefore, the amount of the first solution rick needs to mix together to create the love portion, x = 8.5 mL
