    540

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Amount of antifreeze in the 90% solution + amount of antifreeze in the 20% solution = amount of antifreeze in the 80% solution

    0.90 x + 0.20 (90) = 0.80 (x + 90)

    0.90 x + 18 = 0.80 x + 72

    0.10 x = 54

    x = 540

    You need 540 gallons of 90% antifreeze solution.
