-------------- percent ---------------- Amount
Antifreeze solution 10 ---------------- 4 kg
Antifreeze 100 ---------------- x kg
Mixture 20 ---------------- 4 + x kg
10*4+100x=20(4+ x)
40+100 x=80+20 x
100x-20 x=-40+ 80
80 x = 40
/ 80
x = 0.5 kg Antifreeze
100 grams solution contains 60 gms water
600=50(10+x)
600=500+50x
100=50x
x=2 gms of water has to be removed
