Question 928606: A pharmacist wishes to mix a solution that is 8% minoxidil. She has 70 ml of 4% solution and wishes to add some 10% solution to obtain the desired 8% solution. How much 10% should she add? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = ml of 4% = 70
y = ml of 10%
---
4x + 10y = 8(x + y)
4x + 10y = 8x + 8y
2y = 4x
y = 2x
y = 2*70
y = 140

answer:
add 140 ml of 10%
