\n" ); document.write( "A chemist needs 3L of 60% salt solution. She has a 25% salt solution and 75% salt solution available with her. How many liters of each solution should she mix to obtain her desired solution?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let amount of 25% salt solution needed, be T
\n" );
document.write( "Then amount of 75% solution needed = 3 - T
\n" );
document.write( "Equation formed: 
\n" );
document.write( "Solve for T, the amount of 25% solution to be mixed
\n" );
document.write( "Subtract T from 3 to get amount of 75% solution to be mixed \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
