A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 55% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 80% pure antifreeze. In order to obtain 180 gallons of a mixture that contains 65% pure antifreeze, how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used?​

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

the first brand = (65-55)/(80-55) x 180

= 10/25 × 180

= 72 gallons

the second brand = (80-65)/(80-55)×180

= 15/25 × 180

= 108 gallons
