If two triangles are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion. Thus,

AB / AU = BC / UV = AC / AV

AB / (20x+108) = 703 / 444

Where AB is equivalent to:

AB = AU + UB

AB = 20x + 108 + 273

AB = 20x + 381

Therefore going back to the first equation:

(20x + 381) / (20x + 108) = 703/444

444 (20x + 381) = 703 (20x + 108)

8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

14060x - 8880x = 169164 – 75924

5180 x = 93240

x = 93240 / 5180

How much of a 14% solution of iodine should be added to 89 ounces of a 47% iodine solution to get a 29% solution
Andrews [41]
We have 89 ounces of 47% iodine.
We will add "x" ounces of 14% iodine to get a 29% iodine solution.
89 * .47 + .14x = .29 * (89 + x)
41.83 + .14x = 25.81 + .29x
16.02 = .15x
x = 106.80
So, we must add 106.80 ounces of 14% iodine to get a 29% iodine solution.
(for a total of 195.80 ounces)
