Answer:
8 ounces of 20%12 ounces of 70%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be the number of ounces of 20% solution'y' be for the 70%
solutionSince the the mix is 50% of 20 ounces then:x + y = 200.20x +
0.70y = 0.50(20)From the 1st equation solve for xx = 20 - ySubstitute it to
the 2nd equation0.2(20-y) + 0.7y = 104 - 0.2y + 0.7y = 100.5y = 10-40.5y =
6y = 12Substitute to x = 20 - yx = 20 - 12x = 8
