A chemist has a 100 mL beaker of a 60% solution solution. Write an equation for the concentration of the solution after adding x mL of pure water.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The expression for the concentration of the solution after adding x mL of water is

concentration = %280.6%2A100%29%2F%28100+%2B+x%29.100 percents.

1. There is no need to say "pure water" in the condition. Chemists never use "dirty water".

2. What I wrote is not an equation. It is an expression.
