One fourth of a solution that was 10% sugar by weight was replaced by a second solution resulting in a solution that was 14 percent sugar by weight. The second solution was what percent sugar by weight? Choose the correct choice from the following choices:	A) 74%	B) 64%	C) 42%	D) 28%	E) 26%
Say the second solution (which was 1/4 th of total) was x% sugar, then 3/4*0.1+1/4*x=1*0.14 --&gt; x=0.26. Alternately you can consider total solution to be 100 liters and in this case you'll have: 75*0.1+25*x=100*0.14 --&gt; x=0.26.   Answer: 26%.
