Example 1

A radiator's capacity is 16 gallons. If the radiator is full of a 40% antifreeze solution, how many gallons must be drained and replaced with a 75% solution to obtain a full radiator of 45% antifreeze solution?

A diagram is helpful here (see Figure 1).

So equation, or equation gallons must be drained and replaced.
