Solution A has 20% acid and Solution B has 55% acid. How many liters of Solutions A and B should be mixed to get 10 liters of 45% acid?
Added by Ricardo C.
Step 1
We know that the total volume of the mixture should be 10 liters. Therefore, we can write the first equation: \[ x + y = 10 \] Show more…

A chemist is mixing solutions. Solution A is 15% acid, and solution B is 30% acid. She mixes the two solutions to make 12 liters of a new solution that is 25% acid. How many liters of each type of solution did the chemist use to make the new solution?
How many liters each of a 20% acid solution and a 45% acid solution must be used to produce 50 liters of a 25% acid solution?
