Answer:
22.5 grams of 10% cream is mixed with 37.5 grams of 2 % cream to prepare 60 grams of 5% cream.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x grams of 10% cream is mixed with y grams of 2 % cream to prepare 60 grams of 5% cream.
So, x + y = 60 ............ (1) and
[tex]x\times \frac{10}{100} + y \times \frac{2}{100} = 60 \times \frac{5}{100}[/tex]
⇒ 10x + 2y = 300
⇒ 5x + y = 150 ............ (2)
Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,
4x = 150 - 60 = 90
⇒ x = 22.5 grams
So, y = 60 - x = 37.5 grams. (Answer)
