24 oz of juice P and 25 oz of juice W are mixed to make smothies X and Y . The ratio of p to W in smothie X is 4 is to 1 and that in Y is 1is to 5.How many ounces of juice P are contained in the smothie X?	Select the correct option:	A) 5	B) 10	C) 15	D) 20	E) 25
Easy way to solve this question is start from the answer and then conform the information provided in the question.   we can start from option D i.e 20 ... as a quantity of juice P in X because it is the only one option that gets divided by 4 is 20 ... since in the X the juice P to W ratio is 4:1   this gives us that quantity of juice P in X = 20 therefore quantity of Juice W will be 5 ... hence ratio = 4:1   This will lead to quantity of juice P in X = 4 and quantity of Juice W = 20 ... hence ratio 1:5   if we calculate total Juice P = 24 and total of juice W = 25   it fits because totals are same as what mentioned in the question ...   thus ans is 20
