Equation:
water - water = water
0.72*60 - x = 0.68(60-x)
72*60 - 100x = 68*60 - 68x
-32x = -4*60
x = (1/8)60
x = 7.5 liters (amt of water to evaporate)
water - water = water
0.72*60 - x = 0.68(60-x)
72*60 - 100x = 68*60 - 68x
-32x = -4*60
x = (1/8)60
x = 7.5 liters (amt of water to evaporate)
Using percentage concept, 7.5 liters of salt water must be evaporated from 60 liters of a 28% salt solution so that the remaining solution contains 32% salt.
What is percentage?
Percentage is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred.
Let x liters of salt water must be evaporated.
Remaining salt water = (60 - x) liters
Salt content in 28% salt solution of 60 liters = 28*60/100 = 16.8
Salt content remains same in new solution as well.
[tex](32/100)*(60 - x) = 16.8\\x= 7.5[/tex]
7.5 liters of salt water must be evaporated.
