24 oz of juice P and 25 oz of juice V are mixed to make smothies R and Y . The ratio of p to V in smothie R is 4 is to 1 and that in Y is 1is to 5.How many ounces of juice P are contained in the smothie R?  Choose the correct option:  A) 5  B) 10  C) 15  D) 20  E) 25
The ratio of p to V in smothie R is 4 is to 1 and that in Y is 1is to 5. p1 + p2 = 24   v1 + v2 = 25   p1 = 4v1   p2 = v2/5   4v1 + v2/5 = 24   v1 + v2 = 25   4v2 - v2/5 = 76   19v2/5 = 76 =&gt; v2 = 20   =&gt; v1 = 5   =&gt; p1 = 20   Answer - 20
