Please show your work, the steps involved and any formulae as you are able
thank you in advance Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if i have a 29% solution of something and want to make a 3% solution out of it
---how much of the 29% stuff should i start out with in order to prepare 16oz. of the dilute 3% stuff
let x=amount of 29% solution to start out with
29%x=3%*16
.29x=.48
x=.48/.29
x≈1.66
amount of 29% solution to start out with =1.66 oz
