Jimmy wants to make a 48% sugar solution. He has already poured 12 L of a 46% sugar solution into a beaker. How many liters of a 51% sugar solution must he add to this to create the desire mixture? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Jimmy wants to make a 48% sugar solution. He has already poured 12 L of a 46% sugar solution into a beaker. How many liters of a 51% sugar solution must he add to this to create the desire mixture?
----------------
L = # of liters of 51% to add
---
12*46 + L*51 = (12+L)*48
