Solution:
Step 1:
Ordered dose of elixir = 35% of alcohol
Available dose = 10%of alcohol elixir and 75% of alcohol elixir
Step 2:
75 - 35 = 40 parts 10% 8 (reduced to 5 parts)
35 - 10 = 25 parts 75% 5
Total 65 parts 13 (reduced part)
Step 3:
Calculate the strength of 75% of alcohol elixir
5 / 13 = X/1000
13X = 5000
X = 384.6
Step 4:
Calculate the strength of 10% of alcohol elixir
8 / 13= x/ 1000
13x = 8000
X = 615.3
Step 5:
384mL of 70% alcohol elixir and 615.3 mL of 10% alcohol elixir are mixed to form 1000mL of 35% alcohol elixir solution.
