Question 804503: Kristina needs to mix a 10% acid solution with a 50% acid solution to create 100 millileters of a 46% solution. How many millileters of each solution must Kristina use Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! percent ---------------- quantity
Acid solution I 10.00% ---------------- x ml
Acid solution II 50.00% ------ 100 - x ml
Mixture 46.00% ---------------- 100
Total 100 ml
10.00% x + 50.00% ( 100 - x ) = 46.00% * 100
10 x + 50 ( 100 - x ) = 4600
10 x + 5000 - 50 x = 4600
10 x - 50 x = 4600 - -5000
-40 x = -400
/ -40
x = 10 ml 10.00% Acid solution I
90 ml 50.00% Acid solution II
