A scientist mixes x liters of water into a container that has 10 liters of a mixture that is 12% salt and 88% water. The function f(x) = 1.2 / (x+10) represents the percent of the sat in the new mixture. How many liters of water must be added to make 1% salt mixture

Using the function given, the amount of water thst must be added to make 1% salt mixture is 110 litres.

The percentage of salt mixture is represented by the function :

The equation can be expressed thus :

Cross multiply :

(x + 10)(0.01) = 1.2

0.01x + 0.1 = 1.2

0.01x = 1.2 - 0.1

0.01x = 1.1

x = 1.1 ÷ 0.01

x = 110

Hence, 110 litres of water must be added.
