    X=amount of canned juice with 25% of orange juice

    y=amount of other canned juice with 10% of orange juice.

    25%=25/100=1/4

    10%=10/100=1/10

    17%=17/100

    We can suggest this system of equations:

    (1) x+y=15

    (2) (x/4+y/10) / (x+y) = 17/100 ⇒100 (x/4 + y/10) = 17 (x+y) ⇒25x+10y=17x+17y ⇒8x-7y=0

    Finally, we have this system of equations:

    x+y=15

    8x-7y=0

    We can solve this system by substitution method.

    x+y=15 ⇒ y=15-x

    8x-7 (15-x) = 0

    8x-105+7x=0

    15x=105

    x=105/15

    x=7

    y=15-x=15-7=8

    answer: we should mix 7 liters of juice (with 25% orange juice) and 8 liters of juice (with 10% orange juice).
