Problem: solution x is 30 % chemical a and 70 % chemical b by volume . solution y is 40 % chemical a and 60 % chemical b by volume . if a mixture of x and y is 36 % chemical a , what percent of the mixture is solution x ?
Rationale: "the volume of the mixture be x + y . 0.3 x + 0.4 y = 0.36 ( x + y ) x = 2 y / 3 x / ( x + y ) = ( 2 y / 3 ) / ( 5 y / 3 ) = 2 / 5 = 40 % . the answer is c ."
annotated_formula: multiply(divide(divide(subtract(40, 36), subtract(36, 30)), add(divide(subtract(40, 36), subtract(36, 30)), const_1)), const_100)
