Question 819760: A chemist has to make 80 liters of a 15.5% alcohol solution by mixing a 32% alcohol solution and a 10% alcohol solution. How many liters of each are mixed to obtain the 15.5% alcohol solution? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (15.5)80 = 32s + 10w
s + w = 80
w = 80 - s
---
(15.5)80 = 32s + 10w
(15.5)80 = 32s + 10(80 - s)
1240 = 32s + 800 - 10s
22s = 440
---
s = 20 liters
w = 60 liters
