Question 1087047: Sandra needs 10 liters of a 10% brine solution She has only 5% and 25% brine solutions available. How many liters of each solution should she mix to obtain the desired solution? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the amount of 25% brine, and 10-n be the amount of 5% brine. Then:
.25n+.05(10-n)=10 x 0.1=1
Solve for n
