    Work and Mixing Problems

    A lab worker needs to make 10 liters of a 15% acid solution by mixing a 10% acid solution and a 30% acid solution, since their supplier only provides those concentrations. To determine the amounts of each solution to mix, the worker must set up and solve equations relating the concentrations, amounts, and total volume of the mixed solution.

    Practice Problems: Work and Mixing

    Suppose you work in a lab. You need a 15% acid solution for a certain test, but your supplier only 
    ships a 10% solution and a 30% solution. Rather than pay the hefty surcharge to have the supplier 
    make a 15% solution, you decide to mix 10% solution with 30% solution, to make your own 15% 
    solution. You need 10 liters of the 15% acid solution. How many liters of 10% solution and 30% 
    solution should you use?
