percent percentage ---------------- quantity
Acid I 80 ---------------- x ml
Acid II 25 ---------------- 660 - x ml
Mixture 50.00% ---------------- 660

80 x + 25 ( 660 - x ) = 50 * 660

80 x + 16500 - 25 x = 33000
80 x - 25 x = 33000 - 16500
55 x = 16500
/ 55
x= 300 ml 80.00% Acid I
360 ml 25.00% Acid II
