A pharmacist mixed a 20 percent solution with a 30 percent solution to obtain 100 liters of a 24 percent solution. How much of the 20 percent solution did the pharmacist use in the mixture (in liters).

mary mixed 2l of an 80% acid solution with 6l of a 20% acid solution. what was the percent of acid in the resulting mixture
10 liters.
Mixing 80 liters of 15% solution and 520 liters of 90% solution will give 600 liters of 80% solution.

There are 90 liters of pure acid in the mixture because 120 x 0.75 = 90.
Let x = the amount of 20% solution Let x + 10 = the amount of the final solution. So we have: (.20)x + (.50)(10) = (.40)(x + 10) .20x + 5 = .40x + 4 .20x = 1 x = 5 liters of 20% solution of saline.

The chemist will use 100 liters of the 80% acid solution and 100 liters of the 30% acid solution to make a 200-liter solution that is 62% acid. The amount of acid in the 80% solution will be 0.8 * 100 = 80 liters, and in the 30% solution, it will be 0.3 * 100 = 30 liters.

Let x be the number of liters of the 10% solution needed. The amount of silver iodide in the 5-liter solution is 0.04 * 5 = 0.2 liters. The final amount of silver iodide in the mixture would be 5 * 0.06 = 0.3 liters. Set up the equation: 0.1x + 0.2 = 0.3, solve for x, x = 1 liter. Hence, 1 liter of the 10% solution is needed.
If you're talking about 10 liters of water and not percent, then 10 liters. But then you'll have 60 liters of mixture. It would be 2/5 or 0.4 x 50 = 20 this would make a mix of 20/50. Waterman
