In a preliminary experiment, a solution containing 0.0837 mg benzene and 0.0666 mg toluene was analyzed by gas chromatography and gave peak areas of 495 for benzene and 367 for toluene. After this, the amount of unknown was determined by adding 0.0561 mg of benzene to a solution containing an unknown amount of toluene. The peak areas determined for benzene and toluene in this analysis were 643 and 515 respectably. How many mg of toluene are present in the sample?
