by weight, liquid x makes up 0.8 percent of solution a and 1.8 percent of solution b. if 250 grams of solution a are mixed with 700 grams of solution b, then liquid x accounts for what percent of the weight of the resulting solution?
Pick.
A) 1.46 %	B) 1.93 %	C) 10 %	D) 15 %	E) 19 %

divide(add(multiply(250, 0.8), multiply(700, 1.8)), const_1000)
i think there is a typo in question . it should have been ` ` by weight liquid ' x ' makes up . . . . . ` ` weight of liquid x = 0.8 % of weight of a + 1.8 % of weight of b when 250 gms of a and 700 gms of b is mixed : weight of liquid x = ( 0.8 * 250 ) / 100 + ( 1.8 * 700 ) / 100 = 14.6 gms % of liquid x in resultant mixture = ( 14.6 / 1000 ) * 100 = 1.46 % a
