A chef is going to use a mixture of two brands of Italian dressing the first brand contains contains 7% vinegar and the second brain contains 12% vinegar the chef wants to make 220 mL of dressing that is 11% vinegar how much of each branch should he said he use

176 of 12% vinegar

44 of 7% vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage vinegar required = 11%

Volume = 220 mL

First brand % = 7%

Second brand % = 12%

Let p = volume of 12% vinegar material

Mixture :

0.12p + 0.07(220 - p) = 220 * 0.11

0.12p + 15.4 - 0.07p = 24.2

0.05p = 8.8

p = 8.8 / 0.05

p = 176

176 of 12% vinegar and

220 - 176 = 44

44 of 7% vinegar
