20.              A new sports nutrition drink is to be manufactured by a start-up company.  The owners, who are sports physiology researchers, have determined that the composition must be:

COMPONENT                             PROPORTION

Water                                             2/3

Fructose                                         1/6

Glucose                                          1/20

Sucrose                                          1/15

Other                                             balance (flavoring, minerals, etc.)

 

The selected ingredients are:

Symbol      Ingredient       Analysis

W              Well water        99.00%water, bal other

C               Corn syrup       33.33% fructose, 2.5% sucrose, bal water

F                Fruit syrup        22.0% fructose, 5.00% sucrose, 10.00%other, bal water

S                Dry sugar         98.15% sucrose, bal other

G               Glucose soln.    37.5% glucose, bal water

 

Determine the mass of each ingredient to make 100. kg of product.
