Janet is mixing a 15% glucose solution with a 35% glucose solution. this mixture produces 35 liters of a 19% glucose solution. how many liters of the 15% solution is januet using in the mixture? a. 25 liters c. 28 liters b. 7 liters d. 10 liters

We'll be making 35 liters of 19% glucose.

How much of a 15% solution and a 35% solution do we mix in order to get 35 liters of a 19% glucose solution?

X = liters of 15% and Y = liters of 35%

(.15 X + .35 Y) / 35 = .19

The number of Y liters will equal (35 -X) so the equation becomes

(.15 X + .35 *(35-X) ) / 35 = .19

(.15X + 12.25 -.35X) / 35 = .19

(-.20 X / 35) + (12.25 / 35) = .19

(-.20 X / 35) + .35 = .19

(-.20 X / 35) = -.16

-.20X = -5.6

X = 28 liters of 15% and

Y = 7 liters of 35% glucose

Answer is "c" 28 liters
