7. “Purple cow” is a delicious drink that is made by mixing grape juice and milk. John wants to figure out
how many fluid ounces of purple cow that is 10% grape juice should be mixed with 10 fluid ounces of
purple cow that is 35% grape juice to get a drink that is 20% grape juice. To figure this out, John may
solve the equation
10% · g + 35% · 10 = 20% · (g + 10),
where g is the number of fluid ounces of purple cow that is 10% grape juice. Solve the equation for John
and tell him how many fluid ounces he needs of purple cow that is 10% grape juice.

two sides?
(c) If the side of a triangle that is opposite the 90◦ angle has length z, and the other two sides have
lengths x and y, then the three lengths are related by the equation x2 + y 2 = z 2 . What is the name
of the theorem that gives this relation?
