you have a mixture of 1 oz. of 35% hydrogen peroxide, how much pure water would you add to make a mixture of 17% hydrogen peroxide?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = amt of water to produce a 17% mixture
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "amt of hydrogen peroxide remains the same; only the mixture amt changes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".35(1) = .17(x+1)
\n" ); document.write( ".35 = .17x + .17
\n" ); document.write( ".35 - .17 = .17x
\n" ); document.write( ".18 = .17x
\n" ); document.write( "x = .18/.17
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.06 oz of water to be added
\n" ); document.write( ":
