dilute a 12% salt solution with water to make 36 ounces of 8% salt solution.
\n" ); document.write( " How much water and how much 12% salt solution should she mix together?
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of 12% solution required
\n" ); document.write( "the resulting amt is to be 36 oz, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(36-x) = amt of water required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an amt of salt equation, the amt of salt remains the same only the percent changes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".12x = .08(36)
\n" ); document.write( ".12x = 2.88
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"2.88%2F.12\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24 oz of 12% solution
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "36 - 24 = 12 oz of water \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
