\n" ); document.write( "A gardener wishes to use a fungicide for his garden. He has 10 litres of 1 % solution of fungicide and what volume of 50% concentrate to the nearest ml would he need to add to his 10 litres to produce 2% solution of fungicide?\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.01 x (10 - X) + x Where 0.01 is 1% in decimal form, 10 is the number of litres and x is the volume of concentrate...
\n" ); document.write( "

No, no!!
\n" );
document.write( "With x being the amount of 50% concentrate to add, your equation should be: .01(10) + .5x = .02(10 + x)
\n" );
document.write( "Solve this to get the amount in liters. Then convert the liter amount to mL by multiplying it by 1,000. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
