A solution is made by mixing concentrate with water. How many liters of concentrate should be mixed with 2 liters of water so that 32 percent of the solution is concentrate
**
let x=liters of concentrate to mix with water
x+2=liters of 32% solution
x=.32(x+2)=.32x+.64
.68x=.64
x=.64/.68≈.94
ans:
liters of concentrate to mix with water≈.94 liters
