A chemist is mixing a 50% salt solution with an 18% salt solution to make 40 L of a new solution that will contain 30% salt. How much of each of the original solutions should the chemist use?

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of ingredients = sum of final solution

.50 x      where x =   50 percent amount    then 40 - x = 18% amount

.50 x    + .18(40 - x)   =   .30 ( 40 )

.50 x   + 7.2 - .18x  =   12

.32x  = 4.8

x = 15 L of 50%     25 liters of 18%
