\n" ); document.write( "How much \"highlight%28cross%28pure%29%29\" water must be mixed with 10 oz of a 60% alcohol solution to obtain 25% alcohol solution?
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "            I took off the word \"pure\" which was in combination with water,
\n" ); document.write( "            because in such processes \"dirty\" water is never used.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "We have 6 oz of the pure alcohol in the 10 oz solution, making it 60% solution.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We want these 6 oz of the pure alcohol would be 25%, or  \"1%2F4\" of the volume of the new solution.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the volume of the new solution must be  6*4 = 24 oz.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that 24 - 10 = 14 oz of water must be added.    ANSWER\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.   \"6%2F%2810%2B14%29\" = \"6%2F24\" = \"1%2F4\" = 25%.    ! Correct !\r\n" );
document.write( "
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solved.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By the way, the fact that you use the combination of words \"pure water\" in your post, shows that the problem formulation
