Question

how much water must be added to a 6-liter solution that contains 7% extract of baneberry to get a solution that contains 5% extract of baneberry

Answer 1

Answer:

the water to be added is 0.2 L

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the water to be added is given below:

The banberry amount is

= 7% of 6 Liters

= 0. 42L

Now

Let us assume the amount of water added be x L

So, the total solution is

=  6+ x L

Now percentage of banberry is

= 0.42 × 100 ÷ (6+x)

5 = 0.42 × 100 ÷ (9 + x)

9 + x = 9.2

x = 0.2 L

hence, the water to be added is 0.2 L
