Tank contains 60 liters - 20%
\n" ); document.write( "let the amount to be drained be x liters
\n" ); document.write( "Balance will be 60-x liters --20%
\n" ); document.write( "100% added will be x liters
\n" ); document.write( "total will be 60 liters 40%
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "concentration equation
\n" ); document.write( "1x+0.2(60-x)=60*0.4
\n" ); document.write( "1x+12-0.2x=24
\n" ); document.write( "0.8x=12
\n" ); document.write( "x=12/0.8
\n" ); document.write( "x=15 liters will have to be drained\r
