: A 5-quart solution of sulfuric acid and water is 60% acid.
\n" ); document.write( " If a gallon of water is added, what percent of the resulting solution is acid?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = per cent when a gallon of water is added
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Change 1 gallon to 4 quarts
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The amt of acid remains the same
\n" ); document.write( "60(5) = x(5 + 4)
\n" ); document.write( "300 = 9x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 300/9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33\"1%2F3\" per cent
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
