percent ---------------- quantity
Methanol Solution I 30 ---------------- x ml
Methanol Solution II 60 ------ 200 - x ml
Mixture 50 ---------------- 200

30 x + 60 ( 200 - x ) = 49.5 * 200
3000 x + 6000 ( 200 - x ) = 990000
3000 x + 1200000 - 6000 x = 990000
3000 x - 6000 x = 990000 - -1200000
-3000 x = -210000
/ -3000
x = 70 ml 30.00% Methanol Solution I 70ml
60.00% Methanol Solution II 130 ml
