Final Answer: You will need
Step 1 :We are given a 385 mL of a 15% alcohol mixture and we want to add some amount of a 75% alcohol mixture to it to obtain a 20% alcohol solution. Let's denote the amount of the 75% solution we need to add as x mL.
Step 2 :The total volume of the final solution will be 385 + x mL, and it will contain 20% alcohol.
Step 3 :The 385 mL of 15% solution contains
Step 4 :The x mL of 75% solution contains
Step 5 :The amount of alcohol in the final solution is equal to the sum of the amount of alcohol in the initial solutions. So, we can set up the following equation:
Step 6 :Solving this equation gives us the value of x.
Step 7 :Final Answer: You will need
