50 ounces of 15% saline solution contains 0.15*50 = 7.5 ounces of salt.

Let x be the amount of pure water you add to this solution. Then you end up with (x + 50) ounces of this new solution. The amount of salt stays the same.

You want the new solution to have a concentration of 10%. This means you need

7.5 / (x + 50) = 0.1

==>  7.5 = 0.1(x + 50)

==>  7.5 = 0.1x + 5

==>  2.5 = 0.1x

==>  2.5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1

==>  x = 25

A club swimming pool is 21 ft wide and 33 ft long. the club members want an exposed aggregate border in a strip of uniform width
vovangra [49]
First compute the perimeter of the pool:
(21+33)*2=108 foot. 
Since the material cover 232 ft^2, then it is sufficient to divide the above number over the length of the border like this:
232/108=2.1

The trip can be 2.1 ft in wide.
