Emilia wishes to create a basic solution with 7%7 \% hydroxide (OH)(\mathrm{OH}) ions. She has three solutions of different bases available: 10%10 \% rubidium hydroxide (Rb(OH)),8%(\mathrm{Rb}(\mathrm{OH})), 8 \% cesium hydroxide (Cs(OH))(\mathrm{Cs}(\mathrm{OH})), and 5%5 \% francium hydroxide (Fr(OH)(\mathrm{Fr}(\mathrm{OH}) ). ( TheRb(OH)\mathrm{The} \mathrm{Rb}(\mathrm{OH}) solution has both 10%Rb10 \% \mathrm{Rb} ions and 10%OH10 \% \mathrm{OH} ions, and similar for the other solutions.) Since francium is highly radioactive, its concentration in the final solution should not exceed 2%2 \%. What is the highest possible concentration of rubidium in her solution?
