You can put this solution on YOUR website! Same problem, different numbers
=======================================================
how many liters of a 30% salt solution should be mixed with a 80% salt solution to obtain 120 liters of a 60% salt solution?
-----------
t = amount of 30%
e = amount of 80% --- good luck finding 80% salt
----
t + e = 120 (total solution)
30t + 80e = 120*60 ( total salt)
etc
