<PRE><B>Question 572996</B>
Chris is diluting 6 gallons of pure apple juice concentrate to a 24% apple juice concentration.
 How much water should he add?
:
Let w = amt of water to be added to accomplish a 24% concentration
:
That actual amt of apple juice will remain the same, only the percent changes therefore:
.24(w+6) = 6
.24w + 1.44 = 6
.24w = 6 - 1.44
.24w = 4.56
w = {{{4.56/.24}}}
w = 19 gallons of water need to be added
:
:
See if this checks out:
.24(19+6) = 
.24(25) = 6
:
Did this make sense to you?
