What is Percentage?

Percentage can be calculated by dividing the value by the total value, and then multiplying the result by 100.

Here, Let 60% antifreeze solution  volume = x

15% antifreeze solution volume = 15%

Final concentration 50%

Process

             0.6x + 0.15(70) = 0.5(70 + x)

Simplification

                 0.6x + 10.5 = 35 + 0.5x

                 0.6x - 0.5x = 35 - 10.5

                          0.1x = 24.5

                             x = 24.5/0.1

                            x = 245 gallons

Thus, There are 245 gallons of antifreeze solution required.
