    In order to solve the amount of each solution, we need to set up equations. We do as follows:

    Let x = solution with 32% sodium

    y = solution with 12% sodium

    Overall balance

    x + y = 50

    Component balance

    .32x +.12y = 50 (.20) = 10

    Solving simultaneously,

    x = 20

    y = 30

    Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
