Ricky adds 11L of water to a 60.5% solution of alcohol in water. If the new concentration is 36.3%, how much was the original solution?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "S = amount of 60.5% solution
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "S*60.5 + 11*0 = (S + 11)*36.3
\n" ); document.write( "60.5S = 36.3S + 399.3
\n" ); document.write( "24.2S = 399.3
\n" ); document.write( "S = 16.5 liters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
