Answer:
Okay so all you need to know is the percentage of the hydrogen peroxide.
We know that the total solution is 400 ml and the hydrogen peroxide solution is 8ml.
8/400
Percent means out of a hundred, this can go multiple ways.
<u>Way #1, benchmarking.</u>
So 8/400 simplified is 1/50 or 2/100.
1/50 is basically 2/100.
And percent means out of a hundred so 2/100 is basically 2percent.
<u>Way #2, proportions</u>
We want to know the percentage of hydrogen/ fabric dye
If you put it in numbers int he same fraction and put “x” as the unknown 8ml hydrogen peroxide solution you’d get.
8/400 = x/100
X/100 because percent means out of a hundred.
Now solve3
Cross multiply,
800 = 400x
divide 400 on both sides
2=x
Now plug it back in the proportion.
8/400 = 2/100
If you simplify to check if they are equal then it’s correct
