Question
"A jar contains 480 liters of a
orange juice and water mixture in the ratio of 5:3. If (p + 35) liters of water are added to the jar, the new ratio of orange juice to water becomes 5:4. Determine the value of ‘p’."Solution
ATQ, Quantity of orange juice initially in jar = (5/8) × 480 = 300 litres So, quantity of water initially in jar = (3/8) × 480 = 180 litres According to question, 300/[180 + (p + 35)] = 5/4 60 × 4 = 215 + p p = 240 – 215 p = 25
