You can put this solution on YOUR website! Wilbur wants to make a 8% acid solution.
He has already poured 3 gal. of pure water into a beaker.
How many gal. of a 14% acid solution must he add to this to create the desired mixture?
-----------------
14*g + 3*0 = (g + 3)*8
14g = 8g + 24
g = 4 gallons of 14%
