Select a different problem


There was grape juice and apple juice mixed in the Christmas fruit drink.
percent the weight of the mix M was grape juice.
If the weight of the grape juice G was ounces
what was the total weight M of the fruit mix?
Use a diagram to solve the problem.
This can be written as two statements in shorthand form as:

click refresh (F5)

and click refresh (F5)


The total weight of the fruit mix M = ounces.


Example:

Suppose you have a box of 80 marbles. (see figure below)



50 percent more marbles are added to the box. How many marbles are now in the box.

Solution: 50 percent is written as click refresh (F5)

and thus 50 percent more marbles added gives: click refresh (F5) marbles

Try this solution by entering (1 + 50/100)80 into the Graphing Calculator in the Function f(x) = box .
Click on the Plot Graph button.
The answer will appear below the Function f(x)=box as f(x) = 120
