Hello Bunuel,

Can you please share the answer to this question, Seems like the language of the question is bit unclear, Can you please help?
Yes, the original wording was unclear. Here's a clearer phrasing and the solution:

If 100 gallons of a 40% chlorine solution is formed by mixing a 30% chlorine solution and a 55% chlorine solution, how many gallons of the 30% chlorine solution were used?

(A) 20
(B) 30
(C) 40
(D) 50
(E) 60­

Assuming that x gallons of the 30% chlorine solution were used, then 100 - x gallons of the 55% chlorine solution were used. By equating the total amount of chlorine, we get:

0.3x + 0.55(100 - x) = 0.4*100
x = 60
Answer: E.
