Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The setup is like this
100(.046) + x(0) = (100 + x)(.032)
4.6 = 3.2 + .032x
1.4 = .032x
x = 1.4 / .032
x = 43.75 gal of skim milk
That is the correct answer.
Either you typed it in incorrectly or the program has a bug.
