Question 1115451
<br>
Here is a way to solve mixture problems like this involving two ingredients that is much easier to use than the traditional algebraic method shown by the other tutors.<br>
The ratio in which the two ingredients must be mixed is exactly determined by where the percentage of the final mixture lies between the percentages of the two ingredients.<br>
For your problem....<br>
80-76 = 4; 98-80 = 18.<br>
The ingredients must be mixed in the ratio 4:18, or 2:9.  With 110 ml in the final mixture, that means 20ml of one ingredient and 90ml of the other.<br>
Since the percentage of the final mixture is closer to 76% than to 98%, the larger part must be the 76% ingredient.<br>
Answer: 90ml of 76%; 20ml of 98%
