Question

HELP please :)

A patient requires an IV of 0.9% saline solution, also known as normal saline solution. How much distilled water, to the nearest milliliter, must be added to 100 milliliters of a 6 % saline solution to produce normal saline?,

Answer 1

x is the amount of distilled water that must be added (in milliliters)
2/(100+x)=9/(1000)
2000=900+9x
1100=9x
122.22=x
x= 122
The answer is 122 milliliters of distilled water must be added
