How many ounces of water must be added to 100 ounces of 40% antifreeze solution to obtain a 16% solution
\n" ); document.write( "x= ounces of water
\n" ); document.write( "==========================
\n" ); document.write( "Original solution;
\n" ); document.write( "100 ounces, 40% antifreeze= .40(100)=40
\n" ); document.write( "New solution = .16(100+x)= 16+.16x
\n" ); document.write( "equation;
\n" ); document.write( "40=16+.16x
\n" ); document.write( "24=.16x
\n" ); document.write( "150=x
\n" ); document.write( ":)
