    How many gallons of a 70% orange juice must be mixed with 44 gallons of 20% orange juice to obtain a mixture that is 50% orange juice ?

    No time at the moment, but is this just simultaneous equations?
    Judging by your usual posts , I suspect not!!
    The newspaper puzzle is rubbish again this week I'm afraid.
    Just a next number in the sequence thing.
    I can't be bothered with those

    Just the one, I think. 0.70 x + 0.20 * 44 = 0.50 * (x + 44)
