You can put this solution on YOUR website! A biologist has a 25% solution and a 5% solution of the same plant nutrient. How many cubic centimeters of each solution should be mixed to obtain 20 cc of a 10% solution?
----------------
t = amount of 25%
f = amount of f%
-----
t + f = 20 (total solution)
25t + 5f = 10*20 (total nutrient)
etc
