Question

1. a juice blend is 35% apple juice. if it contains 14 oz. of apple juice, how many oz. of juice blend are there in all?

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables

Let \( x \) be the total ounces of the juice blend.

Step2: Set up the equation

We know that 35% of \( x \) is 14 oz (the amount of apple juice). So we can write the equation as \( 0.35x = 14 \).

Step3: Solve for \( x \)

To solve for \( x \), we divide both sides of the equation by 0.35: \( x=\frac{14}{0.35} \).
Calculating \( \frac{14}{0.35} \), we get \( x = 40 \).

Answer:

40
