Answer is: 10 gallons of 3% and 15 gallons of 8% solution.
V₁ + V₂ = 25 gallons.
0,03V₁ + 0,08V₂ = 0,06 · 25 gallons.
V₁ = 25 gallons - V₂.
0,03 · (25 gallons - V₂) + 0,08V₂ = 1,5 gallons.
0,75 gallons - 0,03V₂ + 0,08V₂ = 1,5 gallons.
0,05V₂ = 0,75 gallons.
V₂ = 0,75 gallons / 0,05.
V₂ = 15 gallons.
V₁ = 25 gallons - 15 gallons.
V₁ = 10 gallons.
True. When pesticides make it to a water source, this water source becomes polluted, and unsafe for humans, animals, plants, etc.
To solve multiply 14 by 5%, so 14*.05=.7
