Chemist mixes 200 ml of solution that is 15% salt with 300 ml that is 40% salt. What percent salt is resulting solution?
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = percent salt of resulting solution
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( ".15(200) + .40(300) = x(200+300)
\n" ); document.write( "30 + 120 = x(500)
\n" ); document.write( "150 = x(500)
\n" ); document.write( "150/500 = x
\n" ); document.write( "0.30 = x
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "30% = x
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
