Container A has 300 grams of salt water with 13% concentration. Container B has 700 grams of salt water with 7% concentration. A

fter we take out a certain amount of solution from Container A and the same amount from container B, we pour what we take out from A into B and vice versa. Now the two containers have the same concentration. How many grams of solution did we take out from each container?

Answer:

210 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply, the final amount of each container will not be changed because we add and subtract same amount of solution in the end. Therefore final mass of Container A is 300 grams and final mass of Container B is 700 grams.

However if concentration of the both containers is the same, final amont of the salt should have following relation;

\frac{m_{A}}{m_B}=\frac{3}{7}

where m_A is the amount of salt in container A, and m_B is the amount of salt in container B.

Suppose that the x is the amount that we take away from both containers and than pour into other container. For container A, finally we will have (300-x) grams with 13% concentration and x grams with 7% concentration and vice versa. Total amount of salt in container can be written as,

m_A=(300-x)*\frac{13}{100} +x*\frac{7}{100}=\frac{3900-6x}{100}

similarly for container B ,

m_B=(700-x)*\frac{7}{100} +x*\frac{13}{100}=\frac{4900+6x}{100}

if we replace these values in first equation above and solve for the x,

\frac{m_A}{m_B}=\frac{3900-6x}{4900+6x}=\frac{3}{7}

7*3900- 42x=3*4900+18x\\60x=12600\\x=210

There Are Unlimited Equivalent Ratios To This! For One, We Could Simplify This Ratio To 3,1.Another One Would Be 12,4. You See, It Can Be Any Ratio As Long As It Equals(Simplified) To 3/1. I Hope This Helps!
