What is x in terms of y and z?

by Ahmed MS » Thu Jun 16, 2011 10:19 pm
Three grades of milk: 1%, 2%, and 3% fat by volume. X gallons of 1%, y gallons of 2%, and z gallons of 3% are mixed to give x + y + z gallons of 1.5%. What is x in terms of y and z?

a. y + 3z
b. (y + z)/4
c. 2y + 3z
d. 3y + z
e. 3y + 4z

The answer is A. Failed to understand!

Cheers!

eqn will be
X+2Y+3z=1.5*(X+Y+Z)

solving X=y+3z
Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working
