Given:
Mixture of vitamin water = 75% pure water & 25% concentrated vitamin drink.
To find:
Quantity of water to be added to 16 gallons of concentrated vitamin drink to prepare a tank of vitamin water.
Solution:
Let total amount of mixture be x.
25% of x = 16 gallons (from given information)
When 25% of x is 16 gallons, the remaining 75% of x will be calculated as below:
(16/25)*75 = 48
Answer: 75% of x = 48 gallons. This means 48 gallons pure water is required to be added to mixture to prepare a tank of vitamin water.
