78. Mixing Acid Solutions Simpson's Drugstore needs to prepare a 40−L40-\mathrm{L} mixture that is 32%32 \% acid from three solutions: a 10%10 \% acid solution, a 25%25 \% acid solution, and a 50%50 \% acid solution. How much of each solution should be used if Simpson's wants to use as little of the 50%50 \% solution as possible?
