By weight, liquid X makes up 0.5 percent of solution P and 1.5 percent of solution Q. If 200 grams of solution P are mixed with 800 grams of solution Q, then liquid X accounts for what percent of the weight of the resulting solution?
Select:
A) 1.3 %
B) 1.2 %
C) 1.1 %
D) 1.0 %
E) 0.9 %

Rationale: the number of grams of liquid x is 0.5 ( 200 ) / 100 + 1.5 ( 800 ) / 100 = 1 + 12 = 13 grams . 13 / 1000 = 1.3 % the answer is a .
