Question 1091942
.
how much of a 7% citric acid solution must be mixed with 35 liters of a 23% citric solution to make 14% {{{highlight(solution)}}} ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
0.07x + 0.23*35 = 0.14*(x+35).


x = "how much of a 7% citric acid solution must be mixed with 35 liters of a 23% citric solution to make 14%" solution.


Simplify and solve for x.
It is just arithmetic.
