x, liters of 15% alcohol
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "The action would be to dilute some of the 15% to 10% using water.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2815x%29%2F12=10\", OR if preferred, \"%280.15x%29%2F12=0.1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "Volume of water in liters would be 12-x.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
