\n" ); document.write( "I'll use the Alligation method as described on slide 6 from this link here
\n" ); document.write( "https://www.slideserve.com/lixue/alligation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The target is 69%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The gap from 25% to the target is 69-25 = 44
\n" ); document.write( "The gap from 80% to the target is 80-69 = 11\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The ratio 44:11 reduces to 4:1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We'll need 4 times as much of the 80% solution compared to the 25% solution\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = amount of 25% solution
\n" ); document.write( "4x = amount of 80% solution
\n" ); document.write( "x+4x = 10 mL of solution total
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10/5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "10-x = 10-2 = 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answers:
\n" ); document.write( "2 mL of the 25% solution
\n" ); document.write( "8 mL of the 80% solution
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
