Question

A 11 L solution that was 25 % vinegar was mixed with a 12 L solution that was 67 % vinegar. Find the new concentration of vinegar.

Answer 1

46.91%

Explanation:

The first solution contains 11 * 0.25 = 2.75 L of vinegar

The second solution contains 12 * 0.67 = 8.04 L of vinegar

When mixed together, that adds up to 8.04 + 2.75 = 10.79 L of vinegar

The total volume of the combined solutions is 11 + 12 = 23 L of solution

So the new concentration is 10.79/23 ≈ 0.4691 ≈ 46.91%
