\n" ); document.write( "The 40% acid solution is 60% water. 60% of 200cl
\n" ); document.write( "(0.60)(200cl)=120cl of water
\n" ); document.write( "A 50% solution would be 50% water:
\n" ); document.write( "120cl/0.50=240cl
\n" ); document.write( "120cl of water will make 240cl of 50% solution, so 200cl of 40% solution (120cl water and 80cl acid) needs 40cl of acid added to make 240cl of 50% solution.
