Question 433106: A chemist needs to mix a 10% acid solution with a 60% acid solution to obtain 50 milliliters of a 30% acid solution. How many milliliters of each solution must be used? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+y=50
.1x+.6y=15
x+6y=150
5y=100
y=20
x=30
The chemist needs 30 mlls of %10 solution and 20 mls. of %60 solution to make his mix..
