All as weight per weight. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = amount of water in grams
\n" ); document.write( "s = amount of salt in grams\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"s%2F%28s%2Bw%29=0.20\" and \"s%2Bw=100\"
\n" ); document.write( "Two variables unknown and two equations. Solve the system. Note, you do not really need the second equation. You essentially have just this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28s%2F100=0.20%29\", and the rest of the mass to make up to 100 grams would be the needed water. You may still use the second equation, mass balance.
