salad dressing p is made up of 30 % vinegar and 70 % oil , and salad dressing q contains 10 % vinegar and 90 % oil . if the two dressings are combined to produce a salad dressing that is 22 % vinegar , dressing p comprises what percentage of the new dressing ?
"let x be the percentage of dressing p in the new dressing . 0.3 x + 0.1 ( 1 - x ) = 0.22 0.2 x = 0.12 x = 0.6 = 60 % the answer is d ."
divide(subtract(30, 10), subtract(22, 10))
