In a 160 litre mixture of milk and water ,%of water is only 30%.
\n" ); document.write( "the milkman gave 40 litres of this mixture to a customer and then added some litres of water to remaining mixture.
\n" ); document.write( "as a result the percentage of water in the final mixture became 44%.
\n" ); document.write( "what was the quantity of water added by the milkman ?(in litres)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = amt of water added to do this
\n" ); document.write( "A mixture equation using the decimal equiv of percent water
\n" ); document.write( ".30(40) + x = .44(x+40)
\n" ); document.write( "12 + x = .44x + 17.6
\n" ); document.write( "x - .44x = 17.6 - 12
\n" ); document.write( ".56x = 5.6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5.6/.56
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 liters of water added
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
