ALOGATION MATH: WORD PROBLEM
A pharmacy receives a prescription for coal tar 4.5% gel of 2 ounce. In stock the pharmacy has coal tar and clear gel base. how many grams of each are needed to prepare this prescription. Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 28.349 grams = 1 ounce
So we need 46.698 grams total for 2 ounces
0.045 x 46.698 = 2.10141 gives us the amount of coal tar in grams
(1 - 0.045) x 46.698 = 44.59659 gives us the amount of gel in grams
