Example 2: Orange Soda A manufacturer of soft drinks advertises their orange soda as "naturally flavored," although it contains only 5% orange juice. A new federal regulation stipulates that to be called "natural," a drink must contain at least 10% fruit juice. If the manufacturer needs to sell a total of 950 gallons of “natural" drink, how much pure orange juice and orange soda are needed to conform to the new regulation?

Example 2: Orange Soda 

Area of Exploration: Mixtures and Concentration
Example 2: Orange Soda
A manufacturer of soft drinks advertises their orange soda as "naturally flavored," although it contains only
5% orange juice. A new federal regulation stipulates that to be called "natural," a drink must contain at
least 10% fruit juice. If the manufacturer needs to sella total of 950 gallons of "natural" drink, how much
pure orange juice and orange soda are needed to conform to the new regulation?
In any problem of this type-in which two different substances are to be mixed-drawing a diagram helps
us to organize the given information
10% juice
5% juice
100% juice
To set up the model, we use the fact that the total amount of orange juice in the mixture is equal to the
orange juice in the first two vats.
