ml of 45% solution
D) 400 ml of 30% solution and 100 ml of 45% solution

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is 333  1/ 3 ml 30% solution and 166  2/ 3 ml of 45% solution.  

step-by-step explanation:

Set up 2 equations. Let x be the 30% solution and y be the 45% solution. Then you have x + y =500 and .3x +.45y = .35*500. Then solve the system.
