Algebra.Com's Answer #293968 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() 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( " |
