Let x% be the salt concentration of first solution.
Then in 8ml, amount of salt = 
Given that to this 8ml solution, 11ml solution of a 47% salt solution is mixed.
amount of salt in 11ml of 47% salt solution is = 
So, total amount of salt in new mixture = 
But given that this new solution is a 43% salt solution.
Hence amount of salt in new mixture of (8+11)=19ml solution of 43% salt solution is
Hence 
8x+517 = 817
8x=817-517 = 300
x= 300/8 = 37.5
Hence the salt concentration in the first solution is 37.5%
Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
