A boy made 40 quarts of lemonade, which contained 20% lemon. How much water
\n" ); document.write( "would he have to add to reduce it to 10% lemon?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "lemon + lemon = lemon
\n" ); document.write( "0.20*40 + 0*x = 0.10(40+x)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "20*40 + 0 = 10*40 + 10x
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 10*40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 40 guarts (amt. of water needed for the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "==================
