You can put this solution on YOUR website! -------------- percent ---------------- Amount
Chemical I 7.8 ---------------- 50 gallons
Chemical II 2.2 ---------------- x gallons
Total 4.2 ---------------- 50+xgallons
7.8*50+2.2x=4.2(50+x)
390+2.2x =210+4.2 x
2.2x -4.2x=-390+210
-2x=-180
/ -2
x=90 gallons Chemical II
90 gallons Chemical I
