Use the four-step procedure to solve the following problem. how much water must be added to a gallon of 10% saline solution to create a 2% solution? 1. there is 1 gallon of % solution. 2. there is % saline in water. 3. the equation is 4. the answer is gallons.

4 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There is 1 gallon of 10% solution

2. There is 2% saline in water

3. The equation is 10% of 1 gallon = 2% of solution of x gallons of water + saline

0.1 = 0.02(x + 1)

Subtracting 0.02 from both sides, we get  

0.1 -0.02= 0.02x +0.02 -0.02

0.08 = 0.02x  

Dividing both sides by 0.02, we get  

0.08/0.02 = 0.02x/0.02

x = 4.

4. The answer is 4 gallons of water.

Hope you will understand the concept.

Thank you.
