Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
32 fluid ounces of water + v fluid ounces of 37% bleach.
Want 5% bleach; how much is v?

Amount of bleach = v*37
Amount of 5% solution = 32+v
Concentration of 5% solution = 5, as percent

You did not state how the percentage bleach concentration is used. One might assume you mean weight per volume.

Find v.
