Solving a system of equations we can see that we need to use 120 ml of the 80% solution, and the other 80ml are of the 50% solution.

How much of each we should mix?

Let's define the variables:

  • x = ml of A solution used.
  • y = ml of B solution used.

We know that we want to make 200ml, then:

x  + y = 200

And the concentration of these 200ml must be of 68%, then the concentrations in the left side and in the rigth side must give the same value, so we can write:

x*0.5 + y*0.8 = 200*0.68

(the concentrations are written in decimal form)

Then we have the system of equations:

x  + y = 200

x*0.5 + y*0.8 = 200*0.68

To solve it we start by isolating x in the first equation:

x = 200 - y

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

(200 - y)*0.5 + y*0.8 = 200*0.68

Now we can solve this for y, we will get:

100 - y*0.5 + y*0.8 = 136

y*0.3 = 136 - 100 = 36

y = 36/0.3 = 120

So we need to use 120 ml of the 80% solution, and the other 80ml are of the 50% solution.
