    Answer: 20 quarts of peanut oil worth 19 cents a quart must be mixed.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of quarts of peanut oil worth 19 cents a quart that would be in the mixture.

    The total number of quarts in the mixture would be x + 100

    The cost of the x quarts would be x * 19 = 19x cents

    The cost of 100 quarts of the other peanut oil would be 25 * 100 = 2500 cents

    The cost of the mixture would be

    24 (x + 100) = 24x + 2400

    Therefore, the equation would be

    19x + 2500 = 24x + 2400

    24x - 19x = 2500 - 2400

    5x = 100

    x = 100/5

    x = 20
