Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{75}{100} \times x + \frac{25}{100} \times y = \frac{50}{100} \times 720[/tex]

[tex]0.75x + 0.25y = 360[/tex]

and

[tex]x + y = 720[/tex]

both volumes combined makes the last solution...

and

[tex](x + y = 720) \div 2 [/tex]

[tex]0.5x + 0.5y = 360[/tex]

now...

0.5x+0.5y=0.75x+0.25y

0.25y=0.25x

x=y

it means both volumes are same

so volume of acid must be 720/2=360mL

plug that number in to x and y

if u didnt get how i got the answer...comment me
