How many liters of water should be added to 18 liters of a 14% bleach solution so that the remaining solution contains only 10% bleach?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = amt of water required to make a 10% solution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".14(18) = .10(w+18)
\n" ); document.write( "2.52 = .1w + 1.8
\n" ); document.write( "2.52 - 1.8 = .1w
\n" ); document.write( ".72 = .1w
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 10
\n" ); document.write( "7.2 = w
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "7.2 liters of water added \n" ); document.write( "
