The quantity of liters of the 2% and 66% solutions should you mix together is 4.75 and 11.25 liters.
let
- x = liters of 2% solution
- y = liters of 66% solution
x + y = 16
0.02x + 0.66y = 0.47 × 16
from (1)
x = 16 - y
Substitute into (2)
0.02x + 0.66y = 0.47 × 16
0.02(16 - y) + 0.66y = 7.52
0.32 - 0.02y + 0.66y = 7.52
- 0.02y + 0.66y = 7.52 - 0.32
0.64y = 7.20
y = 7.20/0.64
y = 11.25 liters
Substitute y = 11.25 liters into (1)
x + y = 16
x + 11.25 = 16
x = 16 - 11.25
x = 4.75 liters
