1,262 math tutor interview questions shared by candidates

There was a question (not the exact wording of the question) about if you mix a solution containing 30% juice and another solution containing 20% juice and you mix it together to form a solution that is 100 gallons and is 12% juice. How much of the 30% juice was added? What is 2/5% of 700?
