Percent ---------------- quantity
Acid type I 70.00% ---------------- x liters
Acid type II 20.00% ------ 500 - x liters
Mixture 60.00% ---------------- 500
Total 500 liters
70.00% x + 20.00% ( 500 - x ) = 60.00% * 500
70 x + 20 ( 500 - x ) = 30000
70 x + 10000 - 20 x = 30000
70 x - 20 x = 30000 - -10000
50 x = 20000
/ 50
x = 400 liters 70.00% Acid type I
100 liters 20.00% Acid type II
