    The product of concentration and volume is what you have to look for.

    For example, let A, B and C be the concentrations of solutions a, b and c respectively.

    Aa + Bb = Cc

    Apply this to your problem now.

    You know A, B and C as concentrations and you know b as volume. Also remember that volumes add too!

    So, a + b = c

    Give it a try!
