A beaker contains 20mL of a solution that is 12% cetyl alcohol, a moisturizer often found in shampoo. How much of a solution that is 45% CEA should be added, so that the final mixture is 30% CEA?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "CEA + CEA = CEA
\n" ); document.write( "0.12*20 + 0.45x = 0.30(20+x)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "12*20 + 45x = 30*20 + 30x
\n" ); document.write( "18*20 = 15x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24 mL (amt of 45% solution needed)
