Solution X is 10 percent alcohol by volume, and solution Y is 30 percent alcohol by volume. How many milliliters of solution Y must be added to 50 milliliters of solution X to create a solution that is 25 percent alcohol by volume? Choices.
A) 150 B) 500 / 3 C) 400 D) 480 E) 600

Rationale: "we know that x is 10 % , y is 30 % and w . avg = 25 % . what does this mean with respect to w . avg technique ? w . avg is 1 portion away from y and 3 portion away from x so for every 1 portion of x we will have to add 3 portions of y . if x = 50 then y = 150 answer : a"
Answer: A
