Answer:
274 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
Often medical solutions expressed as a percentage are not really a percentage as such. A percentage is the ratio of two quantities with the same units.
Here, the context given by the problem suggests the "25%" solution is really (25 g)/(100 mL). That is, the units are grams and milliliters--different units.
With that assumption, we want to find the volume (v) of solution needed to deliver 6 g of medicine. An appropriate proportion* is ...
v/(6 g) = (100 mL)/(25 g)
v = (6 g)(100 mL)/(25 g) = 24 mL
So, the total volume of the infusion is ...
250 mL +24 mL = 274 mL
_____
* The concentration is given in terms of g/mL, but we have used a proportion that is mL/g. The reason for that is we want the variable to be in the numerator of the ratio. The variable here represents volume, so we have written the proportion with volumes in the numerators.
Having the variable in the numerator means the equation can be solved in one step--by multiplying by its denominator.
A percent is a proportion of something that can come from a variety of different numbers depending on what you are measuring. 14.5% is not the same as 14.5 because the 14.5% isn’t necessarily 14.5 of a certain amount. For example, $14.50 of the $100 you have could be from your grandparents; making 14.5% of your money from your grandparents but a deposit of $145 into a bank account that already has $855 would mean that 14.5% of the money in that bank account was from that deposit but $145 does not equal $14.50. They just have the same proportion just different on different scales.
