Suppose you want to combine two types of fruit drink to create 24 kilograms of a drink that will be 5% sugar by weight. Fruit drink A is 4% sugar by weight, and fruit drink B is 8% sugar by weight. Write a system of equations that relates the amounts of drink needed and to the total amount needed. (Write at the level an eighth grader can understand please.)
 
I know the 24 kg thing is gonna be on the right side of the equal sign

=24

but before it...hmmmm.....would you have to find 4% of 24 or something? [IDK....]
