Volume = 10 liters
\n" ); document.write( "Desired solution is 20% soap, so we assume that 80% is pure water.
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming we are measuring volumes, then the amount of pure soap in 10 liters of 20% soap is .2*10 = 2 liters of pure soap.
\n" ); document.write( "That means we add 8 liters of pure water to arrive at 10 liters.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
