Question 1124664: A solution of salt and water is 20% salt. If 25% of the water is removed, what is the percentage of salt in the new solution? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose total volume of solution is 1 liter
water volume is 0.8 liters, salt is 0.2 l
remove 25% of water and remove 0.2 l so 0.6 l of water is left. This has the same 0.2 salt. Total volume is now 0.8 liters of which 0.2 is salt.
25% or 1/4.
