10. How much salt must be added to 60 litresof a 20% solution of salt to increase it to a40% solution of salt?

Answer»

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

amount of salt=20% of the solution=20/100*60=12

let the amount of salt added be x.

so,

amount of salt=12+x

amount of solution=60+x

Atq,

12+x/60+x=40/100

12+x/60+x=2/5

(12+x)*5=(60+x)*2

60+5x=120+2x

5x-2x=120-60

3x=60

x=20.

SO the amount of salt added is 20.
