420 gallons.

Here's how to find it;

If X = Gallons of 80% mix,

0.8*X + 0.1*70 = 0.7*(X+70)

Which we can then solve,

0.8X + 7 = 0.7X + 49

0.1X = 42

X = 420

How many gallons of a 12 percent indicator solution must be mixed with a 20 percent indicator solution to get 10 gallons of a 14 percent solution?

Let x represent the amount of 12% solution and (10-x) represent the amount of 20% solution. The equation to solve is: 0.12x + 0.20(10-x) = 0.14(10). Solving for x gives x = 4, so you need 4 gallons of the 12% solution and 6 gallons of the 20% solution to make 10 gallons of the 14% solution.

How many gallons of a 80 percent acid solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of a 16 percent solution to obtain a solution that is 60 percent?

Let x be the gallons of the 80% acid solution needed. The amount of acid in the 80% solution is 0.8x, and the amount in the 16% solution is 0.16*60=9.6. We want a total of (x+60) gallons of solution with 60% acid, so we have the equation 0.8x + 9.6 = 0.6(x+60). Solving for x gives x = 24 gallons.

How many gallons of a 80 percent antifreeze solution must be mixed with 70 gallons of 20 percent antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70 percent antifreeze?

70 gallons of 20% solution contains 70*0.2 = 14 gallons of antifreeze. Suppose you need G gallons of the 80% antifreeze solution. This will contain 0.8*G gallons of antifreeze. Total volume of solution = G + 70 gallons Volume of antifreeze required in this solutions to make it a 70% solution is 0.7*(G + 70) = 0.7G + 49 gallons. Volume of antifreeze = 14 + 0.8G gallons So 0.7G + 49 = 14 + 0.8G 0.7G + 35 = 0.8G 35 = 0.1G 350 = G Answer: 350 gallons.
