Answer:
4 liters.
Explanation:
From the question above, we are required to find the amount of water that should be added to a sugar and water solution.
Let x represent the amount of water that would be added by Sharon.
2×36/100= 12/100(2+x)
2×0.36= 0.12(2+x)
Cross multiply both sides
0.72= 0.24+0.12x
Collect the like terms
0.72-0.24= 0.12x
0.48= 0.12x
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 0.12
0.48/0.12= 0.12x/0.12
x= 4
Hence Sharon should add 4 liters of water to 2liters of sugar and water solution that is 36% sugar to form a solution of 12% sugar.
