A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acid
solution contains 20% acid, the second
contains 35% and the third contains 75%. They want
to use all three solutions to obtain a mixture
of 114 liters containing 50% acid, using 3
times as much of the 75% solution as
the 35% solution. How many liters of each solution should
be used?
