Question 1130773: A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains
20%
acid, the second contains
30%
and the third contains
75%
.He wants to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 48
liters containing
50%
acid, using 2
times as much of the
75%
solution as the 30%
solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?
