The strength of a salt solution is $p\%$ if $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution contains p grams of salt. If three salt solutions $A, B, C$ are mixed in the proportion $1: 2: 3$, then the resulting solution has strength $20 \%$. If instead the proportion is $3: 2: 1$, then the resulting solution has strength $30 \%$. A fourth solution, $D$, is produced by mixing $B$ and $C$ in the ratio $2: 7$. The ratio of the strength of $D$ to that of $A$ is

A $20 \%$ ethanol solution is mixed with another ethanol solution, say, $S$ of unknown concentration in the proportion $1:3$ by volume. This mixture is then mixed with an equal volume of $20 \%$ ethanol solution. If the resultant mixture is a $31.25 \%$ ethanol solution, then the unknown concentration of $S$ is

The strength of an indigo solution in percentage is equal to the amount of indigo in grams per $100 \mathrm{cc}$ of water. Two $800 \mathrm{cc}$ bottles are filled with indigo solutions of strengths $33 \%$ and $17 \%$, respectively. A part of the solution from the first bottle is thrown away and replaced by an equal volume of the solution from the second bottle. If the strength of the indigo solution in the first bottle has now changed to $21 \%$ then the volume, in cc, of the solution left in the second bottle is
