Q: A solution is made by mixing 3 parts of solution A and 5 parts of solution B. If solution A contains 20% salt and solution B contains 10% salt, what is the percentage of salt in the final mixture?
Solution: Total salt = (3 * 0.2) + (5 * 0.1) = 0.6 + 0.5 = 1.1. Total mixture = 3 + 5 = 8. Percentage = (1.1/8) * 100 = 13.75%.
