Answer:

350 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of gallons of 70% solution

   100 = number of gallons of 25% solution

Then, x + 100 = number of gallons of 60% solution

0.70x + 0.25(100) = 0.60(x + 100)

0.70x + 25 = 0.60x + 60

0.10x = 35

      x = 350 gal

Mix 350 gal of 70% solution with 100 gal of 25% solution to obtain 450 gal of 60% solution.
