Answer:

150 mL

Explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of 75% solution needed. The total amount of alcohol in the 60% mixture will be ...

75%·x + 10%·45 = 60%·(x+45) . . . . . there will be x+45 mL of solution in the end

0.15x = 22.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract .60x+4.5

22.5/0.15 = x = 150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . mL of 75% solution needed

You will need 150 mL of the 75% solution.
