A restaurant manager has 2 liters of white wine that is 12% alcohol.
\n" ); document.write( " How many liters of white grape juice should he add to get a drink that is 10% alcohol?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of grape juice required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation using the amt alcohol, which remains the same (only the % changes)
\n" ); document.write( ".10(x+2) = .12(2)
\n" ); document.write( ".1x + .2 = .24
\n" ); document.write( ".1x = .24 - .2
\n" ); document.write( ".1x = .04
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\".04%2F.1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = .4 liters of grape juice should be added
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( ".10(2.4) = .12(2)
\n" ); document.write( ".24 = .24 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
