Answer:

12 g of water she use.

Explanation:

Given : Jen wants to make 60% salt solution using 18g of salt.

To find : How much water should she use.

Solution : Let x be the solution.

So, 60% of x is 18 g.


(60)/(100)* x = 18


x = (18* 100)/(60)


x = 30

Which means Total solution is 30 g and 18 g is the salt

So, quantity of water = 30-18 = 12g
