    42%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x is for the volume of the container

    the amount filled in the first container=0.30x

    the volume of the first container + 50% of the second = (x+x*50%) = 1.5 x

    the amount of acid in the second container = 1.5x * 50%=0.75x

    total amount of acid in the third one = 0.3x+0.75x=1.05x

    total solution : x+1.5x=2.5x

    percentage=1.05x/2.5x = 0.42 or 42%
