Solution Y is 30 percent liquid X and 70 percent water. If 2 kilograms of water evaporate from 8 kilograms of solution Y and 2 kilograms of solution Y are added to the remaining 6 kilograms of liquid, what percent of this new solution is liquid X?
Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 30%
B) 33 1/3%
C) 37 1/2%
D) 40%
E) 50%
Initial solution =&gt; 8 kg (x:w :: 2.4:5.6)   After evaporation Initial solution =&gt; 6 kg (x:w:: 2.4:3.6)   New solution =&gt; 2 kg (x:w::0.6:1.4)   Mixing (Initial solution + New solution) =&gt; 6 kg (2.4:3.6)+ 2 kg (0.6:1.4) =   = 8 kg [(2.4+0.6) : (3.6+1.4)]   = 8 kg (x : water :: 3kg : 5 kg)   Hence % of x = 3/8 = 37.5%   ANSWER:37 1/2%
