document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Ans:\r\n" );
document.write( "Let the volume of water to be mixed be x ml\r\n" );
document.write( "Total volume of the mixture = (x+12) ml\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If this is to be 12% alcohol solution, that means that the *mixture* contains\r\n" );
document.write( "12% of alcohol by volume.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We know that the mixture has 12 ml of alcohol.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, we get the equation - 12/(x+12) = 12% or 12/100\r\n" );
