How much water should be added to 500 l of a 14% syrup solution to get a 10% syrup solution?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "water + water = water
\n" ); document.write( "0.86*500 + x = 0.90(500+x)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "86*500 + 100x = 90*500+90x
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 4*500
\n" ); document.write( "x = 200 L (amt of water that must be added)
\n" ); document.write( "==================================================
\n" ); document.write( "You could also just solve the following:
\n" ); document.write( "sugar + sugar = sugar
\n" ); document.write( "0.14*500 + 0*x = 0.10(500+x)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "14*500 = 10*500+10x
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 4*500
\n" ); document.write( "x = 200 L (amt of water that must be added)
\n" ); document.write( "==================================================
