Answer:

14 %   pure juice comes from  first brand

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixture:

17 gal 30% contains:  17x 30% = 5.10 gal pure juice

 Second brand:

8 gal 48% contains:  8x40% =  3.84   gal pure juice

5.10 − 3.84 = 1.26   gal

1.26   gal is  coming  from 9 gal of first  brand

The percentage of first brand  is:

(1.26/9) x100  =  14 %   pure juice.
