Question 924729: A farmer mixes a 20% fertilizer solution with a 40% fertilizer solution to make 8 quarts of a 33.75% fertilizer solution. How many quarts of each does he use? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = volume of 20%
y = volume of 40%
---
20x + 40y = 33.75*8
x + y = 8
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
20x + 40y = 270
x + y = 8
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

solution:
x = volume of 20% = 2.5 quarts
y = volume of 40% = 5.5 quarts
