In other words, 3 ounces is 15% of the amount of solution liquid. Taking this \"ounces\" exactly as written, this means weight, as in $\"1%2F16\"$ of a pound, three times.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15% of Q is 3;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.15Q=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Q=3%2F%280.15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Q=20%2Aounces\"$ , which is the same as 1.25 pounds of solution. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
