Question 1122001
.
<pre>
Let x = "How many milliliters of Solution A does she use", in mL.

Then the amount of the solution B is (x+300) mL.


Then your equation is


"pure alcohol" + "pure alcohol" = "total pure alcohol"


0.19x          +  0.12*(x+300)  = 377.


Simplify and solve for x:


0.19x + 0.12x + 36 = 377


0.31x = 377 - 36 = 341  ====>  x = {{{341/0.31}}} = 1100 mL.


<U>Answer</U>.  She uses 1100 mL of solution A.

Solved.
