Question 1120108: If Solution A contains 67% chlorine and Solution B contains 31% chlorine. How much of each solution should be mixed in order to create 120 gallons of a solution that contains 61% chlorine?
I tried making a chart.
where it would be .67x+.31y=73.2 but I am not sure if I am starting this problem right. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):

:
Instead of y use (120-x), then you just have to solve for x
.67x + .31(120-x) = .61(120)
