Which equation could help you find how many ounces of 30% acid solution should be mixed with 50 ounces of 2% acid solution to make 3% acid solution?

 0.02⋅50+0.30x50+x=3100\frac{0.02\cdot50+0.30x}{50+x}=\frac{3}{100}  

 0.30x50+x=3100\frac{0.30x}{50+x}=\frac{3}{100}  

 0.30x50+0.02x=3100\frac{0.30x}{50+0.02x}=\frac{3}{100}  

 0.02⋅50+0.30x50+3=30100\frac{0.02\cdot50+0.30x}{50+3}=\frac{30}{100}
