6 divided by 4 is 1.5 each person will get 1 and a half sandwiches
Let x represent the amount of 10% solution used.
Let y represent the amount of 25% solution used.
Since 30 liters of 15% solution are being made, our first equation is
x + y = 30
Now we deal with the actual peroxide in each solution.
x liters of 10% peroxide contain 0.1x liters of peroxide.
y liters of 25% peroxide contain 0.25y liters of peroxide.
30 liters of 15% peroxide contain 0.15 * 30 = 4.5 liters of peroxide.
From this information, we can write our second equation.
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
We have a system of equations:
x + y = 30
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
Multiply the first equation by -0.25 and add to the second equation.
-0.25x - 0.25y = -7.5
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
---------------------------
-0.15x = -3
x = 20
