Brent's solution is great and I like it better than my solution, but this is another way to do the problem: since B and C are both 2% solutions, we don't need to distinguish between them. We're mixing 2 liters of A, a 4% solution, with 6 liters of B+C combined, a 2% solution. Using weighted average principles, since the 2% and 4% components are in a 3 to 1 ratio, the answer should be "three times closer" to 2%, so it will be 2.5%.
