solution x is 10 % chemical a and 90 % chemical b by volume . solution y is 20 % chemical a and 80 % chemical b by volume . if a mixture of x and y is 12 % chemical a , what percent of the mixture is solution x ?
"the volume of the mixture be x + y . 0.1 x + 0.2 y = 0.12 ( x + y ) x = 4 y x / ( x + y ) = 4 / 5 = 80 % . the answer is a ."
multiply(divide(divide(subtract(20, 12), subtract(12, 10)), add(divide(subtract(20, 12), subtract(12, 10)), const_1)), const_100)
