Question 171636: A physician having 100 cubic centimeters of a 6% solution of a certain medicine wishes to dilute it to a 3 1/2 % solution. How much water must he add? (A 6% solution contains 6% of medicine and 94% of water.) Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = amount of water added
.06(100) = .035(100+x)
6 = 3.5 + .035x
2.5 = .035x
71.429 cc = x
