O Mark this question

Gary mixes a solution using two types of concentration of salt: 0.70 gallons of 5% salt and 0.30

gallons of 22% salt.

What is the salt concentration of the mixed solution? Answer choices are rounded to the nearest

whole percent.

The salt concentration of the mixed solution = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

First assuming that the concentration of salt given is on a vol% basis.

First solution has 0.7 gallon of 5% salt

Amount of salt in this solution = 5% × 0.7 = 0.035 gallon

Second solution has 0.3 gallon of 22% salt

Amount of salt in this solution = 22% × 0.3 = 0.066 gallon

Total amount of salt in the resulting solution = 0.035 + 0.066 = 0.101 gallon

Total volume of the resulting solution = 0.7 + 0.3 = 1.00 gallon

Concentration of the mixture of salt = (0.101/1) = 0.101 = 10.1% = 10% to the nearest percent

Hope this Helps!!!
