If 35% of a 140 gram pitcher is lemonade powder.
\n" ); document.write( " How many grams of water should be added to the mixture so that the powder makes
\n" ); document.write( " up 25% of the lemonade mixture?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of water required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".35(140) = .25(x+140)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "49 = .25x + 35
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "49 - 35 = .25x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "14 = .25x
