Question 1189870: A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 40% salt and Solution B is 70%
salt. She wants to obtain 60 ounces of a mixture that is 60% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

"solutions"? No. Not solutions in water. MIXTURE, then this is not a liquid. This would be mixture of powders or granules.
For the "ounces", this may be okay, as long as "fluid ounces" is NOT intended.

The mathematics you are looking for can be like this:

g, how much of the 70%
60-g, how much of the 40%

------Solve this but save all computations for last.
