Finding the Inverse of a Rational Function

The function represents the concentration of an acid solution after mL of 40% solution has been added to 100 mL of a 20% solution. First, find the inverse of the function; that is, find an expression for in terms of Then use your result to determine how much of the 40% solution should be added so that the final mixture is a 35% solution.
