You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let 82% solution required be x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "percent ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "82 ---------------- x
\n" ); document.write( "water 0% ---------------- 20-x
\n" ); document.write( "50.00% ---------------- 20
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "82x+0(20 -x)=50*20
\n" ); document.write( "82x=1000
\n" ); document.write( "/ 82
\n" ); document.write( "x=12.2 qt. of82.00%
\n" ); document.write( "Balance 7.8 qt of water.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7.8 qt. of 82% will have to be drained and replaced with water
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
