OF a mixture containing 7 quarts, 5 quarts are alcohol. how many quarts of water must be added to produce a mixure containing 25%alcohol?
-----------------------------------------
Equation:
alcohol + alcohol = alcohol
5 + 0*x = 0.25(7+x)
5 = (7/4) + (x/4)
20 = 7 + x
x = 13 quarts (amount of water needed in the mixture)
