How much water should be added to one gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is 60% antifreeze?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of water to be added, water is 0% antifreeze
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A simple equation
\n" ); document.write( "1 + 0(x) = .60(x + 1)
\n" ); document.write( "1 = .6x + .6
\n" ); document.write( "1 - .6 = .6x
\n" ); document.write( ".4 = .6x
\n" ); document.write( "x = \".4%2F.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = .67 gal of water to be added
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check by finding the amt of antifreeze before and after, should be the same
\n" ); document.write( "(only the percent changes)
\n" ); document.write( "1 = .06(1+.67)
\n" ); document.write( "1 = .06(1.67
\n" ); document.write( "1 = 1; confirms our solution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
