In an experiment, a 100 ml of alcoholic solution must have a 20% alcohol in it. 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( "
