M=32
T=12
H=16
L=8
v, how much ounces of the higher concentration, H=16 percent solution
M-v, the amount of lower concentration, L=8 percent solution

Solve for v; substitute the given values; evaluate M-v.

The ratio in which two ingredients need to be mixed to get a mixture that is a particular percentage between the percentages of the two ingredients is exactly determined by where the target percentage lies between the percentages of the two ingredients.

The 12% target is exactly halfway between the 8% and 16% of the two ingredients. The mixture should be made with equal parts of each.
