Question 636426: A liquid medicine solution is 1% liquid Curitall by volume. To the nearest mL, how much solution do you need to
have 40 mL of pure Curitall?
Answer by ptaylor(2198) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=amount of solution needed
0.01*x=amount of pure Curitall in the solution
So our equation to solve is:
0.01*x=40
x=4000 ml
CK
4000*0.01=40
40=40
