Animals in an experiment are to be kept on a strict diet. Each animal is to receive, among other things, 20 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat. The laboratory technician is able to purchase two food mixes of the following compositions: Mix A has $10 \%$ protein and $6 \%$ fat, $\operatorname{mix} \mathrm{B}$ has $20 \%$ protein and $2 \%$ fat. How many grams of each mix should be used to obtain the right diet for a single animal?
