70% of salt solution was diluted with water to produce 50liters of 55% salt solution.How much water was used?
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "let x=amt of water used
\n" ); document.write( "50-x=amt of 70% solution used
\n" ); document.write( "70%(50-x)=55%*50
\n" ); document.write( "35-.7x=27.5
\n" ); document.write( ".7x=7.5
\n" ); document.write( "x≈39.29
\n" ); document.write( "amt of water used≈39.29 liters \n" ); document.write( "
