solution p is 20 percent lemonade and 80 percent carbonated water by volume ; solution q is 45 percent lemonade and 55 percent carbonated water by volume . if a mixture of pq contains 72 % percent carbonated water , what percent of the volume of the mixture is p ?
72 % is 8 % - points below 80 % and 17 % - points above 55 % . so the ratio of solution p to solution q is 17 : 8 . mixture p is 17 / 25 = 68 % of the volume of mixture pq . the answer is e .
multiply(divide(subtract(divide(72, const_100), divide(55, const_100)), add(subtract(divide(72, const_100), divide(55, const_100)), subtract(divide(80, const_100), divide(72, const_100)))), const_100)
