Question 1008160: A pharmacist wishes to mix a solution that is 6% Minoxidil. She has on hand 80 ml of a solution and wishes to add some 8% solution to obtain the desired 6% solution. How much 8% solution should she add? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming the 80ml has no Minoxidil in it to begin with, then:
.08(x)=.06(80+x)
.08x=4.8+.06x
.02x=4.8
x=4.8/.02=240 ml of .08 solution needed;
.08(240)=.06(320)
19.2=19.2!!!!!!!!
