Let = liters of 50% solution needed
Let = liters of 25% solution needed
given:
(1)
= liters of salt in final solution
-----------------
In words:
(liters of salt) / (liters of total solution) = 40%
(2)
Multiply both sides of (1) by , and
subtract from (2)
(2)
(1)
and, since
150 liters of 50% solution and 100 liters of 25% solution are needed
check answer:
OK
