Question 1130789: Use two equations in two variables to solve the application.
A chemist has one solution that is 60% alcohol and another that is 35% alcohol. How much of each must she use to make 15 liters of a solution that is 45% alcohol? (find how many liters used for 60% and 35% solution)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Almost the same problem, different numbers.
----
A merchant wants to mix peanuts worth $3 per pound with jelly beans worth $1.50 per pound to make 30 pounds of a mixture worth $2.10 per pound. How many pounds of each should he use? (find # of lbs used for peanuts and jelly beans).
----------
p + j = 30 --- total mix
3p + 1.5j = 2.1*30 --- total cost
etc.
