You can put this solution on YOUR website!
( 20 * 10% + x * 100% ) / ( 20 + x ) = 25%
\n" ); document.write( "( 20 * 0.1 + x ) / ( 20 + x ) = 0.25
\n" ); document.write( "( 2 + x ) / ( 20 + x ) = 0.25
\n" ); document.write( "2 + x = 0.25( 20 + x )
\n" ); document.write( "2 + x = 5 + 0.25x
\n" ); document.write( "0.75x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4kg salt
\n" ); document.write( "
