    The document describes a word problem involving three varieties of beer - A, B, and C - that contain varying proportions of starch, hops, and water. When mixed together in a 2:3:5 ratio, the final mixture is 38% starch and 28% hops. The question asks to find the sum of x and y, where x and y are the percentages of starch and hops in the individual varieties. The solution sets up two equations relating the percentages and solves them to determine that x = 20 and y = 30, so the sum of x and y is 50.

    Solution

    Givenconcentrationofstarchinfinalmixtureis38%,then

    (2x/10)+(3y/10)+(5(100(x+y))/10)=38

    3x+2y=240(1)

    Also,givenconcentrationofhopsinfinalmixtureis28%,then

    (2y/10)+(3(1002y)/10)+(5x/10)=28
