Respuesta :

1.143 liters of glycerin should be added to 12 liters of an 8% glycerin solution so that the resulting solution contains 16% glycerin.

For given question,

Let x be the quantity ( in liters ) of glycerin added to 12 liters of an 8% glycerin solution so that the resulting solution contains 16% glycerin,

Thus,

Quantity of glycerin in 12 liters + Quantity of glycerin in x

= Quantity of glycerin in resultant mixture.

⇒ 8% of 12 + 100% of x = 16% of (12 + x )

⇒ 0.08 × 12 + x = 0.16 × ( 12 + x )

⇒ 0.96 + x = 0.16 × 12 + 0.16x

⇒ 0.96 + x = 1.92 + 0.16x

⇒ x - 0.16x = 1.92 - 0.96

⇒ 0.84x = 0.96

⇒ x = 1.143 liters

Therefore, 1.143 liters of glycerin should be added to 12 liters of an 8% glycerin solution so that the resulting solution contains 16% glycerin.
