Respuesta :
now, how much vinegar is in the dressing anyway? now, the dressing contains other substances, but just vinegar, we know is 16% in it, therefore, if we use say "y" mL of dressing, how much is 16% of y? well, (16/100) * y, or 0.16y. So that much vinegar will be in that "y" mLs.
now, we're also mixing pure vinegar, how much vinegar is in pure vinegar?
well, is pure vinegar, so is 100% vinegar, so if we use say "x" mL, that'll be (100/100) * x, or 1.00x or just x.
and the mixture we know needs to be 210mLs at 48% vinegar, so that'd be (48/100) * 210 or 100.8 of vinegar in the mixture.
bear in mind that whatever "x" and "y" are, they must yield 210 for the mixture, thus x + y = 210.
and the vinegar quantities, must also yield the mixture requirement, thus x + 0.16y = 100.8.

how much will it be of the dressing? well, y = 210 - x.
