Question 1095742
I can pick any quantity of water
since no quantity is given:
Let {{{ 500 }}} = the quantity of salt and water in the solution ( any units )
{{{ .2*500 = 100 }}} = the quantity of salt in the solution
{{{ 400 }}} = the quantity of water in solution
-------------------------
{{{ 400 - .25*400 = .75*400 }}}
{{{ .75*400 = 300 }}}
remaining water + salt is:
{{{ 300 + 100 = 400 }}}
----------------------
{{{ ( 100 / 400 )*100 = 25 }}}
The % of salt in new solution is 25%
