parts of 10% soln, x

parts of 25% soln, y

total soln, x+y =30

{x(0.1) + y(0.25)}/(x + y) = 0.12...eqn 1

x + y = 30...eqn 2

from eqn 2...=》 x = 30-y

subst for x in eqn 1...

=》 {(30-y)(0.1) + y(0.25)}/ 30-y+y = 0.12

=》 (3-.1y+.25y)/30 =0.12

=》 3+.15y = 3.6

=》 .15y = .6

=》 y =4

using x = 30 - y = 26

ans

26ml of 10% soln

4ml of 25% soln
