Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call A the amount of vinegar. 100%
Let's call B the amount of Italian dressing . 12% vinegar
The resulting mixture should have 23% vinegar, and 160 milliliters.
Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:
Then the total amount of pure antifreeze in the mixture will be:
