salad dressing p is made up of 30 % vinegar and 70 % oil , and salad dressing q contains 10 % vinegar and 90 % oil . if the two dressings are combined to produce a salad dressing that is 12 % vinegar , dressing p comprises what percentage of the new dressing ?
let x be the percentage of dressing p in the new dressing . 0.3 x + 0.1 ( 1 - x ) = 0.12 0.2 x = 0.02 x = 0.1 = 10 % the answer is e .
divide(subtract(30, 10), subtract(12, 10))
