\n" );
document.write( "At an Italian restaurant there is a jug of heterogeneous oils that are composed of 20 liters of 93% oil type and 10 liters of pure neutral liquid.
\n" );
document.write( "Now, the 93% oils are on the bottom while the neutral liquid is less dense. How much of the oils must I take out of the bottom, so that when I shake the jug up, I get a heterogeneous solution of 64%? \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #48569 by Nate(3500)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, let us find the solution's percentage of oil content: \n" ); document.write( "(20(93%) + 10(0%))/(30) = ? \n" ); document.write( "(20(0.93) + 10(0.00))/30 = ? \n" ); document.write( "18.6/30 = 0.62 or 62% \n" ); document.write( "On the contrary, you would have to add oils to get a solution of 64% .... \n" ); document.write( "(18.6 + x(0.93))/(30 + x) = 0.64 \n" ); document.write( "18.6 + 0.93x = 19.2 + 0.64x \n" ); document.write( "0.29x = 0.6 \n" ); document.write( "x = about 2.1 liters of 93% oils must be added \n" ); document.write( " |
