You can put this solution on YOUR website! -------------- percent ---------------- Amount
Salt solution I 40 ---------------- 24 liters
Salt solution II 24 ---------------- x liters
Mixture 34 ---------------- 24 + x liters
40*24+24x=34(24 +x)
960+24x =816+34x
24x-34x =-960+ 816
-10x=-144
/ -10
x = 14.4 liters Salt solution II
