A chef plans to mix 100% vinegar with Italian dressing. The Italian dressing contains 7% vinegar. The chef wants to make 310 milliliters of a mixture that contains 19% vinegar. How much vinegar and how much Italian dressing should she use? Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier.
