Question 845910
Say there are 10 gallons of the 14% liquid
{{{ .14*10 = 1.4 }}} is the concentration in gallons
You need to add {{{ x }}} gallons of pure water
to get the concentration down to 1%
{{{ 1.4 / ( 10 + x ) = .01 }}}
{{{ 1.4 = .01*( 10 + x ) }}}
{{{ 1.4 = .1 + .01x }}}
{{{ .01x = 1.3 }}}
{{{ x = 1.3/.01 }}}
{{{ x = 130 }}}
Add 130 gallons of water
