            The formula      which @josgarithmetic presents as a final answer, is INCORRECT,

            So I came to present the correct solution.

x of 97% 25-x of 22% 0.97*x + 0.22*(25-x) = 0.92*25 0.97x + 0.22*25 - 0.22x = 92*25 (0.97-0.22)x = 0.92*25 - 0.22*25 x = = 23.333. ANSWER. 23.333 mL of the drink B and (25-23.333) = 1.666 mL of the drink A. CHECK. = 0.92, which is CORRECT concentration value.

Solved.
