What amount of each mixture, one 95% alcohol and the other 15% alcohol, must be used to make 10 liters of a mixture which is 45% alcohol? What equation or equations will express this problem?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "95% mixture DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "amount = x liters ; active ingredient= 0.95x
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "15% mixture DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "amount = 10-x liters ; active ingredient = 0.15(10-x)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "45% mixture DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "amount =10 liters ; active ingredient = 0.45(10)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "active + active = active
\n" ); document.write( "0.95% + 0.15(10-x)= 0.45(10)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Looks like \"C\" is the answer.\r
