Question 393401: If we add x mL of 100% acid to 100 mL of 35% acid solution, the concentration C(x) of the new mixture can be expressed as
a. x/x+100
b. x+0.35/100
c. x+35/x+100
d. 35/x+100
Eh? Truth be told, I don't even get what I'm supposed to do.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The amount of acid in the new mixture is x + 100*0.35 = x+ 35.
The volume of the new mixture is x + 100.
Therefore the concentration of the new mixture is %28x%2B35%29%2F%28x%2B100%29. That is letter c.
