One solution contains 20% salt and the other 30% salt. Mixed 300 g of the first solution and 500 g

One solution contains 20% salt and the other 30% salt. Mixed 300 g of the first solution and 500 g of the second. Determine the percentage of salt in the resulting solution.

1. Let’s find how many grams of salt are contained in 300 g of the first solution.

300 g * 20%: 100% = 60 g.

2. Find how many grams of salt are contained in 500 g of the second solution.

500 g * 30%: 100% = 150 g.

3. Determine what is the mass of the resulting solution.

300 g + 500 g = 800 g.

4. Determine how much salt is contained in the resulting solution.

60 g + 150 g = 210 g.

5. Calculate the percentage of salt in the resulting solution.

210 g: 800 g * 100% = 26.25%

Answer. The salt content in the resulting solution is 26.25%.
