This mixture problem is the same form as so many others like it.

L = 10%
T = 22%
H = 25%
u = how much of L
v = how much of H
M = 15 liters

%28Lu%2BHv%29%2FM=T and u%2Bv=15
Solve for u and v, the only variables.

Hi,

Question states***

 .25highlight%28x%29 + .10highlight%2815-x%29 = .22*15

  25x + 10(15-x) = 22*15

    15x = 12*15

     x  = 12 L of 25%  and 3L of 10%
