Problem
In a class experiment, a student needs 5 liters of 6% solution. He found a 4% and a 10% solution in the
laboratory. How many liters of each solution should he mix in order to obtain 5 liters of 6% solution?
A. 3.33 liters of 4% and 1.67 liters of 10% solution
B. 1.67 liters of 4% and 3.33 liters of 10% solution
C. 3.67 liters of 4% and 1.33 liters of 10% solution
D. 1.33 liters of 4% and 3.67 liters of 10% solution

Solution

Let
x = volume in liters of 4% solution
y = volume in liters of 10% solution

001-mixture-problem.gif

x+y = 5
 y = 5 x Equation (1)

4x + 10y = 6(5)

4x + 10(5 x) = 30
4x + 50 10x = 30
6x = 20
x = 3.33 liters

From Equation (1)

y = 5 3.33
y = 1.67 liters

Thus, [ A ] answer
