This is an example of a mixture problem. Given that originally, there are 15 cups of juice out of the 20 cups. With the added 4 cups of water, then there will now be 24 cups in total. So the percentage of juice in the new punch would be 15/24, or 62.5%.
Answer: The percentage of juice present in new punch is 62.5 %.
Explanation:
In 20 cup of punch = 75 % of juice
Cup of juices in 20 cup of punch =
[tex]\frac{20\times 75}{100}=15 cups[/tex] of juice
After addition of 4 cups of water the total volume of punch becomes:
= (15 cups of juice + 5 cups of water)+ (4 cups of water added more) = 24 cups
Percentage of the juice in new punch juice is:
[tex]\%=\frac{15}{24}\times 100=62.5\%[/tex]
The percentage of juice present in new punch is 62.5 %.
