Question 203450: E-Chem Testing has a solution that is 80% base and another that is 30% base. A technician needs 200 L of a solution that is 62% base. The 200 L will be prepared by mixing the two solutions on hand. How much of each should be used?

let x=80% base=128 L
let 200-x=30% base=72 L
.8x+.3(200-x)=.62*200
.8x+60-.3x=124
.5x=64
x=128
