Application:
Ask one volunteer to help mix the Blue Lemonade solution
- Compute for the 10% lemon concentrate (200 x 10% = 20g)
- Compute for the 20% blue raspberry flavour (200 X 20% = 40g)
- Pour 10% (20g) of lemon concentrate into the cup
- Pour 20% (40g) of blue raspberry flavour into the cup
- Pour 140 g of water to have a 200g lemonade
Go back to the problem and what is asked (x)
- Add 100g of water to the solution
Ask the class if they got 300 g solution. Is 60g of flavour 20% of 300g?
Discussion: From the examples presented, ask students what they think is a mixture-related problem.
- Mixture related problems involve creating a mixture from two or more things and
determining some quantity of the resulting mixture.
Ask students where else they can encounter mixture problems.
There are four common types of mixture in verbal problems of Algebra.
Solutions Assortments/Mixture

formed by dissolving a substance (solute) distinct items which can be resorted
in another substance (solvent). A easily back to its original components.
common example is the salt as solute Example is assorted candies in a pack.
and water as solvent forming into one
