(b) What percentage of the resulting mixture is antifreeze?

Explanation / Answer

3 quarts that is 18% antifreeze

.18 * 3

= 0.54 quarts

so, total quarts in resulting mixture is

2 + 0.54

= 2.54 quarts

b) total mixture = 5 quarts

and antifreeze = 2.54

so, percentage = 2.54 / 5 * 100

= 50.8%
