The lemonade comes in 100% juice concentrate, but you only serve it as 70% solution. Unfortunately, one batch got overwatered, so you have 4 quarts of 50% solution. How much 100% concentrate do you need to add in order to get the 70% solution?

How much of the 70% solution will you have?

    0.5 (4) + 1x = (x+4) 0.7

    2+x=0.7x+2.8

    minus 0.7x both sides

    2+0.3x=2.8

    minus 2 from both sides

    0.3x=0.8

    divide both sides by 0.3

    x=8/3

    adds 8/3 quarts or 2 and 2/3 quarts

    total is 4 + 2 and 2/3 or 6 and 2/3

    adds 2 and 2/3 quarts of 100%

    total is 6 and 2/3 quarts of 70%
