\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the amount of pure iodine(that would be an 100% solution)
\n" );
document.write( "question states***
\n" );
document.write( ".15*24 + 1.00x = .25(24oz + x )
\n" );
document.write( "solve for x
\n" );
document.write( ".75x = .10*24oz
\n" );
document.write( "x = 3.2oz is the amount of oure iodine needed\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( ".15*24 + 1.00x = .25(24oz + x )
\n" );
document.write( "3.6    + 3.2   = 6.8 \n" );
