You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We want to know how many mL. at 30% to mix with 80%.
\n" ); document.write( "We need a total of 625 mL. at 60%\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using the method of alligation.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "80         30 30/50*625=375 mL of 80% solution\r\n" );
document.write( "      60     375+250= 625 mL of 60% solution\r\n" );
document.write( "30         20 20/50*625=250 mL of 30% solution\r\n" );
document.write( "           50\r\n" );
