.95A + .75B = .80(A + B)
.95A + .75B = .80A + .80B
.15A = .05B
A/B = 1/3 (or A:B = 1:3)

Answer choice: A
800 or bust!

Assume the two mixtures are mixed in x:1 ratio

0.95x + 0.75 = 0.8*(x + 1)
0.15x = 0.05
x = 0.05/0.15 = 1/3

Hence ratio = x:1 = (1/3):1 = 1:3

Correct Option: A

.95x + .75y = .8*(x + y)

.15x = .05y

3x = y

x/y = 1/3
