Question

How many gallons of pure water should be added to 10 gallons of a solution containing 15% juice so that the remaining solution contains 5% juice?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

10 gallons of solution w/ 15% juice means 1.5 gal of juice

to make it into 5%, multiply 1.5 by 20

1.5 x 20 = 30

5% of 30 gallons is 1.5 since 10% of 30 is 3.

Since there was already 10 gallons, the # of gallons of pure water added should be 20 gal.
