Question

Phoebe, a personal trainer, is preparing several blends of varying juice concentrations to see which ratio her fitness club's clients prefer. She plans to make 240 oz each 80% juice, 60% juice, 50% juice, 40% juice, and 20% juice blends. If the 100% juice Phoebe plans to buy comes in 32 oz bottles and partial bottles cannot be bought, how may bottles will Phoebe need to make her blends?

• A. 8
• B. 18
• C. 19
• D. 60

Answer 1

The correct option is C 19

In total the amount of juice (in Oz) Phoebe will need is $(0.8+0.6+0.5+0.4+0.2)\times 240=2.5\times 240=600$. Since each bottle contains 32 oz, then the number of bottles required $=\frac{200}{32}=18.75$. Hence she requires 19 bottles atleast.
