You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In words:
\n" ); document.write( "( ounces of salt you end up with ) / ( total ounces of solution ) = 3%
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"w\" = ounces of water to be added
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.08%2A60+=+4.8+\" = ounces of salt in 8% solution
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4.8+%2F+%28+60+%2B+w+%29+=+.03+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4.8+=+.03%2A%28+60+%2B+w+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4.8+=+1.8+%2B+.03w+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.03w+=+4.8+-+1.8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.03w+=3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+w+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "100 ounces of pure water must be added
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
