Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The fruit punch has 2.4 gallons but x %

Apple juice has 5.6 gallons but 100 % or 1

The total mixture would then have 8 gallons and 82 %.

2.4+5.6=8

8×0.82 = 6.56

Then you would do 2.4x + 5.6(1) = 6.56

2.4x + 5.6 = 6.56

2.4x = 0.96

0.96/2.4 = 0.4 = 40%

Therefore, Brand A has 40% fruit juice
