Answer: There is 162 ml of first brand and 108 ml of second brand.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Percentage of vinegar that the first brand contains = 7%
Percentage of vinegar that the second brand contains = 12%
Percentage of vinegar in mixture = 9%
Total amount of dressing = 270 ml
We will use "Mixture and Allegation":
First brand Second brand
7% 12%
9%
--------------------------------------------------------
12%-9% : 9%-7%
3% : 2%
So, ratio of first brand to second brand in a mixture is 3:2.
So, Amount of first brand she should use is given by
Amount of second brand she should use is given by
Hence, there is 162 ml of first brand and 108 ml of second brand.
