Let x represent the amount of 10% solution used.
Let y represent the amount of 25% solution used.

Since 30 liters of 15% solution are being made, our first equation is
x + y = 30

Now we deal with the actual peroxide in each solution.
x liters of 10% peroxide contain 0.1x liters of peroxide.
y liters of 25% peroxide contain 0.25y liters of peroxide.
30 liters of 15% peroxide contain 0.15 * 30 = 4.5 liters of peroxide.
From this information, we can write our second equation.

0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5

We have a system of equations:

x + y = 30
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5

Multiply the first equation by -0.25 and add to the second equation.

-0.25x - 0.25y = -7.5
   0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
---------------------------
-0.15x              = -3

x = 20

Answer: 20 liters

What is y when x is 893?
garik1379 [7]

The computation shows that the value of y when is 893 will be 1339.5

<h3>How to compute the value?</h3>

It should be noted that when x is 2 y is 3.

Therefore, the value of y when x is 893 will be

= 893 × 3/2

= 1339.5

Therefore, the value of y will be 1339.5
