An industrial chemist has a solution that is 60% alcohol. After she draws off 5L and replaces it with 5L of alcohol the resulting solution is 85% alcohol. How many liters does she have? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A little common sense will reveal that if you remove 5 liters of the original liquid and replace it with 5 liters of another liquid, you have exactly the same amount you started with.
