Let 800 mL of solution A mixed with x mL of solution B
Thus,
800 ( 12 ) 100 + 40 x 100 = ( 800 + x ) 24 100
Or 96 + 2 x 5 = 6 25 ( 800 + x )
Or, 96 + 2 x 5 = 192 + 6 x 25
Or, 2 x 5 6 x 25 = 192 96
Or, 10 x 6 x 25 = 96
Or, 4 x = 96 ( 25 )
Or, x = 96 ( 25 ) 4 = 600
Therefore, there will be 600 mL of solution B
