A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains
20
%
acid, the second contains
40
%
and the third contains
80
%
. They want to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of
55
liters containing
60
%
acid, using
3
times as much of the
80
%
solution as the
40
%
solution. How many liters of each solution should be used?

A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid solution contains 20 % acid, the second contains 40 % and the third contains 80 %. They want to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture of 55 liters containing 60 % acid, using 3 times as much of the 80 % solution as the 40% solution. How many liters of each solution should be used? The chemist should use liters of 20% solution, liters of 40% solution, and liters of 80% solution.
