-------------- percent ---------------- Amount
Solution I 25 ---------------- 240 ml
Water 0 ---------------- x ml
Mixture 10 ---------------- 240 + x ml
25 * 240 + 0 x = 10 ( 240 + x )
6000 + 0 x = 2400 + 10 x
0 x -10 x = -6000 + 2400
-10 x = -3600
/ -10
x = 360 ml Water

240*0.25 = x+240*0.10
60 = x+24
x = 60-24 = 36

How many milliliters of water must be added to 240 milliliters of a 25% sulphuric acid solution to reduce the percentage of sulphuric acid in the new solution to 10%?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
240*0.25 = (x+240)*0.10
60 = 0.1x + 24
0.1x = 60 - 24 = 36
x = 360 milliliters of water must be added.
