You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many liters of a 20% alcohol solution should be added to a 10% alcohol solution to create a 50 ml solution that is 15 % alcohol?
------------------
Equation::
alch + alch = alch
0.20x + 0.10(50-x) = 0.15*50
-------------------------------
20x + 10*50-10x = 15*50
10x = 5*50
x = 25 liters (amt. of 20% solution needed)
50-x = 25 liters (amt. of 10% solution needed)
