Question 936780: You have two vinegars, one is a 5% acetic acid & one is 6.5% acetic acid. You wish to make 200mL of a vinegar with 6% acetic acid. How many milliliters of each vinegar do you need to mix together? Thanks for your help.
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = ml of 5.0%
y = ml of 6.5%
---
x + y = 200
0.05x + 0.065y = 0.06*200
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 200
0.05x + 0.065y = 12
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
