Answer:

Quantity of  cranberry juice = 95  ml  

Quantity of  orange   juice = 95  ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given ,

We have  80% cranberry juice and  4% of  orange juice.

We have to find how much each should be mixed to make 190 ml of a  60% cranberry-orange juice blend.

Step 2

Let's assume

Quantity of  cranberry juice =x ml  

Quantity of  orange   juice =y  ml  

Then,

x + y = 190

and

x×80100 +y×4100 = 190×60100  

⇒ 0.8x+0.4y = 114    

⇒ 2x+y = 285  

⇒ y = 285−2x  

Step 3

Substituting   y = 285−2x  in  x + y = 190  

⇒ x+285−2x = 190  

⇒ −x = 190−285  

⇒ −x = −95  

⇒ x = 95  ml  

Substituting x = 95   in  x + y = 190

⇒ 95 + y = 190  

⇒ y = 190−95  

⇒ y = 95 ml  

So,

Quantity of  cranberry juice =95  ml  

Quantity of  orange   juice = 95  ml
