In a chromatographic analysis, a solution containing 0.0837M toluene and 0.0666M xylene resulted in peak areas of Atoluene= 423 and Axylene= 347. To analyze an unknown sample, 10.0mL of 0.146M xylene was added to 10.0mL of an unknown toluene-containing solution, and the mixture was diluted to 25.0mL. This mixture gave a chromatogram with peak areas of  Atoluene= 553 and Axylene= 582. What was the concentration of toluene in the unknown solution?
