What is the percent by volume of isopropyl alcohol in a solution that contains 35 mL of isopropyl alcohol in 2.2 L of water?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 2200 mL + 35 mL,
and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

%2835%2F%282200%2B35%29%29%2A100 = %2835%2F2235%29%2A100.

It is 1.566%.
