outline the steps you would use to prepare a 10% salt solution from a 25% salt solution for a 100 ml.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "salt + salt = salt
\n" ); document.write( "0.25x + 0(100-x) = 0.10(100 ml)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "25x = 10(100)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1000/25 = 40 ml (amount of 10% solution you need in the mix)
\n" ); document.write( "100-x = 60 ml (amount of water you need in the mix)
\n" ); document.write( "=======================================================
