SEE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE AND TRY.IF YOU STILL CANT GET COME BACK FOR US TO ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "How much water must be evaporated from a 300L tank of a 2% salt solution to obtain a 5% solution?
\n" ); document.write( "300 LITRES OF 2% SOLUTION WILL HAVE 300*2/100=6 SALT AND 300-6 = 294 WATER.
\n" ); document.write( "LET X LITRES BE EVAPORATED.HENCE WE HAVE 294-X WATER.AND 6 SALT =TOTAL 300 - X LITRES.
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE SALT % IN THIS IS
\n" ); document.write( "=6*100/(294-X)= 5 % AS GIVEN
\n" ); document.write( "600/(294-X)=5
\n" ); document.write( "294-X=600/5=120
\n" ); document.write( "X=294-120 = 174
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE 174 LITRES ARE TO BE EVAPORATED TO GET 5% SOLUTION.\r
