solution must be used to make 1
Question 1050875: An auto mechanic has two bottles of battery acid. One contains a 10%
solution and the other a 4% solution. How many cubic centimeters (cc) of each
solution must be used to make 120 cubic centimeters of a solution that is 6%
acid? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! An auto mechanic has two bottles of battery acid. One contains a 10%
solution and the other a 4% solution. How many cubic centimeters (cc) of each
solution must be used to make 120 cubic centimeters of a solution that is 6%
acid?
===================
This is a problem many auto mechanics have to solve.
---
t = amount of 10%
f = amount of 4%
---
t + f = 120 -- total solution
10t + 4f = 6*(t + f) -- total acid
