A pharmacist wishes to mix a solution that is 6​% Minoxidil.
\n" ); document.write( " She has on hand 90 ml of a 4% solution and wishes to add some 8​% solution to obtain the desired 6​% solution.
\n" ); document.write( " How much 8​% solution should she​ add?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can look at this and see you need just much of one as the other because 6% is half way between 4% and 8%
\n" ); document.write( "But here is the mixture procedure
\n" ); document.write( "let x = amt of 8% solution required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The decimal equiv equation
\n" ); document.write( ".04(90) + .08x = .06(x+90)
\n" ); document.write( "3.6 + .08x = .06x + 5.4
\n" ); document.write( ".08x - .06x = 5.4 - 3.6
\n" ); document.write( ".02x = 1.8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.8/.02
\n" ); document.write( "x = 90 ml of the 8% solution \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
