A chemist is using 383 milliliters of a solution of acid and water.

If 17.3% of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of acid are there?

We basically need to calculate 17.3% of 383 milliliters.


\begin{gathered} acid=17.3\%\: of\: 383\: mL \\ acid=(17.3)/(100)*383 \\ acid=0.173*383 \\ acid=6.3\: mL \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution has 6.3 milliliters of acid.
