A chemist has three different acid solutions. The first acidsolution contains 15%15% acid, the secondcontains 25%25% and the third contains 55%55%. Theywant to use all three solutions to obtain a mixtureof 7272 liters containing 35%35% acid,using 22 times as much of the 55%55% solutionas the 25%25% solution. How many liters of each solutionshould be used?
The chemist should use ____ liters of 15% solution,____ liters of 25% solution, and ____ litersof 55% solution.
