Let = ml of 30% alcohol
Let = ml of 45% alcohol
Let = ml of 60% alcohol
Let = ml of 95% alcohol
ml of alcohol in final mixture
----------------------------------------


-------------------------------
Actually you don't need any 95% or 30%
so, I can say:
(1)
(2)
(2)
(2)
----------------------
Multiply both sides of (1) by and
subtract (1) from (2)
(2)
(1)


and
(1)
(2)
(2)
-------------------
0 ml of 30% alcohol
13.333 ml of 45% alcohol
6.667 ml of 60% alcohol
0 ml of 95% alcohol
---------------------
Hope I got it
