Problema Solution
Container A had 300 grams of 8% salt water, while Container B had 120 g of 12.5% salt water. The same amount of water was poured into containers A and B to make concentrations of the salt water in the two containers equal. How many grams of water were poured into both containers?
Answer provided by our tutors
300*0.08/(300+x)=120*0.125/(120+x) ; simplify
24/(300+x)=15/(120+x) ; or
2880+24x=4500+15x
9x=1620
x=180
