$\"x\"$ = volume of the container
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2220%25%22=20%2F100=0.2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "20% of x = $\"0.2x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.2x=100mL\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides times 5
\n" ); document.write( "(or dividing both sides by 0.2; it's the same thing)
\n" ); document.write( "we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=highlight%28500mL%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
