Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(300 * 0.1) = (0.05 * x) + (0.25 * (300 - x))

30 = 0.05x + 75 - 0.25x

-45 = -0.2x

x = 225.

So there would be...

<h2>225 milliliters of 5% solutions</h2><h2>and</h2><h2>75 milliliters of 25% solutions.</h2><h2 /><h2>Feel free to contact me if you have issues or difficulties.</h2>
