Concentrated acid costing 90 c per litre is diluted with water in the ratio 1:5 by volume. The diluted acid is sold at 24 c per litre. What is the percentage profit?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cost of Concentrated Acid (per liter): 90 cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dilution , 1 part acid to 5 parts water (total 6 parts)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cost of Diluted Acid - The mixture cost is (1/6) * 90 cents. =15 cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4. Selling Price of Diluted Acid (per liter): 24 cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5. Profit = Selling Price−Cost Price=24−15=9 cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now,the percentage profit->\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cost price =15 cents\r
