x represents the amount of 25% solution
2x represents the amount of 55% solution
60 - 3x represents the amount of 15% solution
0.25x + 0.55(2x) + 0.15(60 - 3x) = 0.30(60)
Can you solve for x and answer?
Sterling T.
asked 04/16/19A chemist has three different acid solutions.
The first solution contains 15% acid, the second contains 25% acid, and the third contains 55% acid.
She created 60 liters of a 30% acid mixture, using all three solutions. The number of liters of 55% solution used is 2 times the number of liters of 25% solution used.
How many liters of each solution was used?
