How many ounces of pure water must be added to 80oz. of a 35% salt solution to make a 14% salt solution?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "35% solution DATA;
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = 80 oz ; amt of salt = 0.35*80 = 28 oz
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Pure water DATA;
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = x oz ; amt of salt = 0
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "14% solution DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt = 80+x oz ; amt of salt = 0.14(80+x) = 11.2 + 0.14x oz
\n" ); document.write( "==================
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "salt + salt = salt in mixture
\n" ); document.write( "28 + 0 = 11.2 + 0.14x
\n" ); document.write( "0.14x = 16.8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 120 oz (amount of pure water that must be added)
\n" ); document.write( "===========
