A researcher orders a broth of 0.3% glucose; needs 26.4% glucose. has 69.6 liters of 34.8% glucose. How much 26.4% glucose broth can she make?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt (in liters) of .3 % glucose required:
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "69.6 liters of 34.8% available
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "Resulting amt = (69.6 + x) liter
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".003x + .348(69.6) = .264(69.6+x)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".003x + 24.2208 = 18.3744 + .264x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".264x - .003x = 24.2208 - 18.3744
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".261x = 5.8464
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 22.4 liters of .03% glucose
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "Total amt = 69.6 + 22.4 = 92 liters of 26.4% stuff
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution:
\n" ); document.write( ".003(22.4) + .348(69.6) = .264(92)
\n" ); document.write( ".0672 + 24.2208 = 24.288
\n" ); document.write( " \r
