**
let x=ounces of solution lab have
3/x=6%
x=3/.06
x=50
ounces of solution lab have=50
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given: Laboratory Solution
Solution contains 3 ounces of benzalkonium chloride
The amount is 6% of the total in the lab.
Determine: The total number of ounces in the lab.
3.0 Oz. = 6% of Total ----> 3.0/6% ----> 3.0 / (6/100) ----> 3.0 * (100/6)
