You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is no 60% saline. There is no 75% saline. There is no 72% saline. Post a better question.

What this means, is just as said: THERE IS NO 60%, 75%, NOR 72% SALINE. The problem description makes no realistic physical sense. Did you want to ignore this and just apply the arithmetic and algebra?
