Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.

8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.

The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means

(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60

Solve for <em>q</em> :

3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)

3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>

0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6

<em>q</em> = 4
