What amount of each mixture, one 95% alcohol the other 15% alcohol must be used to make 10 liters of a mixture which is 45% alcohol?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "alcohol + alcohol = alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "0.95x + 0.15(10-x) = 0.45*10
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "95x + 150 - 15x = 450
\n" ); document.write( "80x = 300
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.75 liters (amt. of 95% solution)
\n" ); document.write( "10-x = 6.25 liters (amt. of 15% solution)
\n" ); document.write( "================================================
