X=amount of 13% acid solution
50-x=amount of 18% acid solution (cuz they add up to 50 mL)
to find the number of millimeters of solution needed, find their acid concentrations and use those to find the volume of solution:
x*0.13 + (50-x)*0.18 = 50*0.16
expand and simplify:
0.13x-0.18x+9=8
-0.05x+9=8
-0.05x=-1
0.05x=1
x=20 mL of 13% solution
50-x=30 mL of 18% solution

The percent change would be 36%

<h3>What is percent change?</h3>

Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value.

Given:

4 candy bars = 5$

1 candy bar = 5/4

1 candy bar = 1.25$

Now,

5 candy bars = 4$

1 candy bar =4/5

1 candy bar = 0.8$

% change = (0.8-1.25) / 1.25 *100

                  = 36%
