Problem: 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 150 milliliters of solution x to create a solution that is 25 percent alcohol by volume ?
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 = 150 then y = 450 answer : d"
annotated_formula: multiply(divide(subtract(25, 10), subtract(30, 25)), 150)
