How do I reduce a 60% solution to a 10% solution? Thanks
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You add solvent.
\n" ); document.write( "How much solvent depends on how much 60% solution you start with.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "If you have A of 60%, and S is the amount of solvent:
\n" ); document.write( "A*60 + S*0 = 10*(A + S)
\n" ); document.write( "60A = 10A + 10S
\n" ); document.write( "5A = S
\n" ); document.write( "Add 5 times the amount of 60%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
