You need a 70% alcohol solution.
\n" ); document.write( " On hand, you have a 30 mL of a 30% alcohol mixture.
\n" ); document.write( " You also have 75% alcohol mixture.
\n" ); document.write( " How much of the 75% mixture will you need to add to obtain the desired solution?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let a the amt of 75% solution required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A typical mixture equation using decimals
\n" ); document.write( ".30(30) + .75a = .70(a+30)
\n" ); document.write( "9 + .75a = .70a + 21
\n" ); document.write( ".75a - .70a = 21 - 9
\n" ); document.write( ".05a = 12
\n" ); document.write( "a = 12/.05
\n" ); document.write( "a = 240 ml of 75% solution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( ".30(30) + .75(240) =.70(240+30)
\n" ); document.write( "9 + 180 = .70(270)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
