Normal method :
---------------
Equations:
Quantity Eq:::: x + y = 100mL
Copper Eq::::: 0.25x+0.55y =
0.31*100
-----------------------------------------
Multiply Quantity by 55
Multiply Copper by 100
---------------------------
55x + 55y = 55*100
25x + 55y = 31*100
---------------------------
30x = 24*100
x = 80mL (amt. of 25% solution
needed in the mix)
==============

Shortcut method of stacey:
25a+45b=c
a=45-31 / 20 = 14/20
b=31-25 / 20 = 6/20
a=100*14/20=70
