A car radiator contains 10 liters of a 20 percent antifreeze solution. How many liters will have to be drained and then replaced with pure anitfreeze if the resulting solution is to be 50 percent antifreeze?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "anti - anti + anti = anti
\n" ); document.write( "0.20*10 - 0.20x + 1.00x = 0.50*10
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "20*10 - 20x + 100x = 50*10
\n" ); document.write( "80x = 30*10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.75 liters (amt. that must be removed and replaced)
