We have 150 liter of 10% solution
\n" ); document.write( "We want to add some 70% solution to make 50% solution
\n" ); document.write( "0.7*x+0.1*150=0.5(150+x)
\n" ); document.write( "0.7*x+15=75+0.5x
\n" ); document.write( "0.7x-0.5x=75-15
\n" ); document.write( "0.2x=60
\n" ); document.write( "x=300 liter at 70% (210) is added to 150 liter at 10%(15) to make 50% of 450 liter(225)
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "0.7*300+0.1*150=0.5(150+300)
\n" ); document.write( "210+15=0.5(450)
\n" ); document.write( "225=225
