.
S=amount of 70% solution: T=amount of 30% solution
.
S+T=240L
T=240L-S
.
(0.70)S+(0.30)T=(0.60)(240L)
(0.70)S+(0.30)(240L-S)=144L
0.70S+72L-0.30S=144L
0.40S=72
S=180L
T=240L-S=240L-180L=60L
.
ANSWER: 180 liters of 70% solution mixed with 60 liters
of 30% solution yields 240 liters of 60% solution.
.
CHECK:
.
(0.70)S+(0.30)T=(0.60)(240L)
(0.70)180L+(0.30)60L=(0.60)(240L)
126L+18L=144L
144L=144L
.
