If 40ml of water is added in the solution, how much alcohol must be added, to maintain the 20% alcohol solution? \n" ); document.write( "*** \n" ); document.write( "let x=amount of alcohol to add \n" ); document.write( "concentration of original solution=20%=20/100 \n" ); document.write( "concentration of new solution=20%=(20+x)/140 \n" ); document.write( "20/100=(20+x)/140 \n" ); document.write( "2800=2000+100x \n" ); document.write( "100x=800 \n" ); document.write( "x=8 \n" ); document.write( "amount of alcohol to add=8ml \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
