adding x ml 19% water
start with 7.10 ml pure water (0.71*10)and add 0.19x ml, which is 7.10 +0.19x ml
final is (10+x)ml*0.32=3.2 ml+0.32x ml
Those two are equal, so 3.2+0.32x=7.10+0.19x
0.13x=3.9
x=30 ml
check started with 7.10 ml pure water and ended with 7.1 +5.7 (30*.19)=12.8 ml
also have 40 ml of .32 pure water which is also 12.8 ml

When I see such posts from @josgarithmetic, I become really sad and angry.

The educational value of such posts is 0 (zero, ZERO).

Moreover, posting such a nonsense, he actually blocks the posts from other tutors (from me, for example),
from which the reader / (the visitor) could learn something useful.


It is why I say that real contribution of @josgarithmetic is, actually, NEGATIVE at this forum.


Dear visitors, you will continue to get such GIBBERISH from him until YOU APPLAUD him.
