If an amount of a solution containing 10 percent Chemical A is combined with twice as much of a solution that is 30 percent Chemical A and four times as much of a solution that is 35 percent Chemical A, what is the concentration of Chemical A in the resulting solution?
A. 17.5%
B. 20%
C. 25%
D. 27.5%
E. 30%

Solution********** Amount of solution*************** Amount of Chemical A
1 ****************** x ********************************** 0.1x
2 ****************** 2x ******************************** 0.6x
3 ****************** 4x ******************************** 1.4x
Amount of chemical A = 2.1x
Amount of solution = 7x
Concentration of chemical A in the resulting solution = 2.1x/7x = 30%
IMO E
