Question 928871: guy needs to drink 250 mL solution of 30% antidote. he only has 20% antidote solution and 40% antidote solution. how many mL of each antidote solution does he need to mix Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume = Volume
.40x + .20(250ml - x) = .30(250ml)
x = .10(250ml)/.20 , the amount of 40% solution
(250ml - x), the amount of 20% solution
