8% of salt solution was mixed with 5% of salt solution 250 g to become 6.8% of salt solution.
Find the weight of the salt solution made.
Find the weight of the salt solution made.
Answer
625 g
Solution
(6.8 - 5) : (8 - 6.8) = 1.8 : 1.2 = 3 : 2
The weight of 8% salt solution is 250 × 3/2 = 375 g
Thus total weight of salt solution is 250 + 375 = 625 g
Solution
(6.8 - 5) : (8 - 6.8) = 1.8 : 1.2 = 3 : 2
The weight of 8% salt solution is 250 × 3/2 = 375 g
Thus total weight of salt solution is 250 + 375 = 625 g
