Question 1140170: If I know that the solution I use to clean my car windows is 65% water and 35% cleaner, I have one relationship. If I also know that I only have a 3-liter spray bottle that gives me a second relationship.
What do the unknowns in this system represent and what are the two equations that that need to be solved?
Finally, solve the system of equations.

w, volume of water
c, volume of undiluted cleaner

Inference is that you want w of water and c of undiluted cleaner to be a total of 3 liters which will be mixed and put into the spray bottle.

system%28c=0.35%2A3%2Cw%2Bc=3%29

w=0.65%2A3
