Question 391562: Sally wants to make a 36% acid solution. She has already poured 3 fluid ounces of a 72% acid solution in a beaker. How many fluid ounces of a 9% acid solution must she pour in to create the desired mixture? Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 0.72*3 + 0.09x = 0.36(3 + x)
==> 2.16 + 0.09x = 1.08 + 0.36x
==>1.08 = 0.27x
x = 4 fluid ounces 9% acid solution.
