Answer:

3 Liters of the 85% Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to draw your buckets. I can't on computer so imagine the fraction bar is the bottom of the buckets.

[tex]\frac{85}{x}+\frac{55}{6}=\frac{65}{x+6}[/tex]

Then we multiply the top of the buckets with the bottom:

85x+330=65x+390

Now we simplify and solve

20x=60

x=3

You need 3 liters of the 85% solution!
