Adam wants tomake a 52% acid solution. He has already poured 2 fluid ounces of a 55% acid solution into a beaker. How many fluid ounces of a 50% acid solution must he add to make this mix.
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "let x=fluid ounces of 50% solution must be added to make desired mix
\n" ); document.write( "55%*2+50%x=52%(2+x)
\n" ); document.write( ".55*2+.5x=1.04+.52x
\n" ); document.write( ".02x=1.10-10.4=.06
\n" ); document.write( ".02x=.06
\n" ); document.write( "x=3 fluid ounces
\n" ); document.write( "ans:
\n" ); document.write( "3 fluid ounces of 50% solution must be added to make desired mix \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
