Question 732067: Joey has a 25% antifreeze solution. He also has pure antifreeze. How much of the 25% solution and the pure antifreeze is needed to fill his 12- quart cooling system with a 50% antifreeze solution? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = quarts of 25% solution needed
Let = quarts of pure antifreeze needed
given:

Subtract (1) from (2)
(2)
(1)
and, since
(1)
(1)
8 quarts of 25% solution are needed
4 quarts of pure antifreeze are needed
check:
