An empty fuel tank with a capacity of 200 gallons was filled partially with fuel A and then to capacity with fuel B. Fuel A contains 12% ethanol by volume and fuel B contains 16% ethanol by volume. If the full fuel tank contains 22 gallons of ethanol, how many gallons of fuel A were added?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:  A) 160  B) 150  C) 250  D) 80  E) 50

Rationale: "say there are a gallons of fuel a in the tank , then there would be 200 - a gallons of fuel b . the amount of ethanol in a gallons of fuel a is 0.12 a ; the amount of ethanol in 200 - a gallons of fuel b is 0.16 ( 200 - a ) ; since the total amount of ethanol is 22 gallons then 0.12 a + 0.16 ( 200 - a ) = 22 - - > a = 250 . answer : c ."
Answer: C
