Chris is diluting 6 gallons of pure apple juice concentrate to a 24% apple juice concentration.
\n" ); document.write( " How much water should he add?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = amt of water to be added to accomplish a 24% concentration
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "That actual amt of apple juice will remain the same, only the percent changes therefore:
\n" ); document.write( ".24(w+6) = 6
\n" ); document.write( ".24w + 1.44 = 6
\n" ); document.write( ".24w = 6 - 1.44
\n" ); document.write( ".24w = 4.56
\n" ); document.write( "w = \"4.56%2F.24\"
\n" ); document.write( "w = 19 gallons of water need to be added
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if this checks out:
\n" ); document.write( ".24(19+6) =
\n" ); document.write( ".24(25) = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Did this make sense to you?
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
