A solution of 500-ml was 84% Alcohol. How many gallons of the solution would need to be evaporated to be only 80% alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "alcohol - alcohol = alcohol
\n" ); document.write( "0.84*500 - x = 0.80(500-x)
\n" ); document.write( "84*500 - 100 x = 80*500 - 80x
\n" ); document.write( "4*500 = 20x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 100 ml (amt. to evaporate)
\n" ); document.write( "=================
