A gallon of Del Monte White Vinegar is labeled 5%acidity. How many fluid ounces of pure acid must be added to get 6% acidity?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "acid + acid = acid
\n" ); document.write( "1 gallon = 128 ounces
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "0.05*128 + 1*x = 0.06(128+x)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "5*128 + 100x = 6*128 + 6x
\n" ); document.write( "94x = 128
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.3617 ounces (amt. of pure acid to add)
\n" ); document.write( "==============
