This question is asked so you can see how simple HLB mixture calculations are, Oranges come in bags of 17 Apples come in bags of 5 You want the average number of fruit in a bag to be 14.6 What percentage of bags of fruit should be bags of oranges? Select one: 0 a, 60% oranges O b, 70% oranges O c. 80% oranges 0 d, 90% oranges

Answer 1

Number of oranges per bag= 17

Let number of bags of oranges in 1 bag fruits= x

Number of apples in one bag = 5

Let the number of bags of apples in 1 bag fruits y: 1-x

The average number of fruits in a bag is =14.6

Hence we can write linear equation in one variables as:

17 × X + 5 (1-X) = 14.6

12X = (14.6- 5) =9.6

X= 0.8

HENCE Y= (1-X) = (1-0.8) = 0.2

Total bags = X + Y = 1

No of bags of oranges = X= 0.8

Percent of bags of oranges in a bag of fruits= (0.8/1)×100

= 80%

Hence option (c)
