Myra is a scientist and needs 45 gallons of a 16% acid solution. The lab is currently stocked only with a 20% acid solution and

a 10% acid solution. Myra will need to mix how many gallons of the 20% solution and how many gallons of the 10% solution to have what she needs.

Answer:

The volume of the solution with 20% acid is 27 gallons and the one with 10% acid is 18 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Myra needs to mix "x" gallons of the solution with 20% and "y" gallons of the solution with 10%. The volume of the final solution must be 45 gallons, therefore:

x + y = 45

The concentration of acid of the final solution is:

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 45*0.16

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

Therefore we have a system of equation:

x + y = 45

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

We need to multiply the first equation by -0.1:

-0.1*x -0.1*y = -4.5

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

We now sum both equation:

0.1*x = 2.7

x = 2.7/0.1 = 27 gallons

y = 45 - 27  = 18 gallons
