\n" ); document.write( "Batch A: 55.6 mL of 50% dextrose
\n" ); document.write( "Batch B: 944.4 mL of 5% dextrose\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From batch A, there's 55.6*0.50 = 27.8 mL of pure dextrose.
\n" ); document.write( "From batch B, there's 944.4*0.05 = 47.22 mL of pure dextrose.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In total there's 27.8 + 47.22 = 75.02 mL of pure dextrose out of 1000 mL of total solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide the two amounts to find the concentration
\n" ); document.write( "75.02/1000 = 0.07502 = 7.502%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It appears that your teacher then rounded that to one decimal place to end up with 7.5%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
