FOR A PARTICULAR EXPERIMENT, YOU NEED 5 LITERS OF 10%
SOLUTION. YOU FIND 7% AND 12% SOLUTION ON THE SHELF. HOW
MUCH OF THE 7% SOLUTION YOU MIX WITH THE APPROPRIATE
AMOUNT OF THE 12% SOLUTION TO GET 5 LITERS OF 10% SOLUTION?
MATH
2 LITERS
SOLUTION:

LET, X be the amount of 7% solution

5 – X be the amount of 12% solution

0.07X + 0.12(5-X) = 5*0.10

0.07X -0.12X = 5*0.10 – 0.12*5
-0.05X = -0.10
X = -0.10 / -0.05
X=2
