You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many liters of a 20% solution of acid should be added to 10 liters of a 30% solution of acid to obtain a 25% solution?
-----------------
Equation:
acid + acid = acid
0.20x + 0.30*10 = 0.25(x+10)
--------
20x + 30*10 = 25x + 25*10
5x = 5*10
x = 10 liters (amt. of 20% solution to add)
