She then decides to replace a portion of the cleaning solution to create a cleaning solution with 25% ammonia. How much cleaning solution should be replaced by ammonia?\r

Algebra.Com's Answer #421975 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The solution she has in the bucket has 80% water (as you found out), including 14.4 fl oz. water in a total of 18 fl oz. solution. \n" ); document.write( "Barbara will need to add ammonia, but only after removing some ( \n" ); document.write( "If Barbara wants an 18 fl oz. bucket full of 25% ammonia, she will need to have in that bucket \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Barbara will have to start by removing some of that 80% water solution to end up with just 13.5 fl oz. water in the bucket. \n" ); document.write( "Removing \n" ); document.write( "leaving \n" ); document.write( "Since the amount of water needed is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
