Question

The Sunny Day Juice Stand sells freshly squeezed lemonade and orange juice at the farmers’ market. The juices are ladled out of large glass jars, each holding exactly the same amount of juice. Linda and Julie set up their stand early on Saturday morning. The first customer of the day ordered orange juice and Linda carefully ladled out 8 ounces into a paper cup. As she was about to hand the cup to the customer, he changed his mind and sked for lemonade instead. Accidentally, Linda dumped the cup of orange juice into the jar of lemonade. She quickly mixed up the juices, ladled out a cup of the mixture (mostly lemonade) and turned to hand it to the customer. “I’ve decided I don’t want anything to drink right now” he said, and frazzled, Linda dumped the cupful of juice mixture into the orange juice jar. Linda’s assistant, Julie, watched all of this with amusement. As the man walked away, she wondered aloud, “Now is there more orange juice in the lemonade or more lemonade in the orange juice?”

Explanation / Answer

There will be more orange juice in the lemonade as the orange juice that was dumped into the lemonade was pure. And by the time the lemonade was dumped into the orange juice it already had traces of orange juice in it.
