Answer:
5 ml of 50% syrup solution will be used to create the final solution
Step by step Explanation:
Let the amount of 50% solution that was used = b
Which means ( 30 - b ) is the amount of 1/200 solution used then we can derive an equation as follows,
set up will then be,
0.5b +0.05(30 -b) = 1/8 (30)
We can simplifiy this as
0.5b+ 1.5 -0.05b = 3.75
Then make b the subject of the formula we have
0.45b = 2.25
b= 2.25/0.45
b = 5 ml
Therefore, 5ml of 50% syrup solution will be used to create the final solution
