Answer:

  • <u><em>He must use 50g of the 12% solution and 30 g of the 20% solution.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

Call x the amount of <em>12% boric acid </em>solution to be used.

  • The content of acid of that is: 0.12x

Since he wants to make <em>80 grams</em> of solution, the amount of <em>20% boric acid</em> solution to be used is 80 - x.

  • The content of acid of that is{ 0.20(80 - x).

The final solution is <em>15% </em>concentrated.

  • The content of boric acid of that is 0.15 × 80 g.

Now you have can write your equation:

         0.12x+0.20(80-x)=0.15\times 80

Solve:

           0.12x + 16 - 0.20x=12\\\\-0.08x=12-16\\\\0.08x=4\\\\x=4/0.08\\\\x=50

That is 50 grams of the 12% solution of boric acid.

Calculate the amount of the 20% solution of boric acid:

         80-x=80-50=30

That is 30 grams.

Then, he must use 50g of the 12% solution and 30 g of the 20% solution.
