A lab technician mixed a 530 ml solution of water and alcohol. If 3% of the solution is alcohol, how many milliliters of alcohol were used and how many milliliters of water were used?

Question

abdullahm · Answer

3% = 3/100

3/100 * 530 = milliliters of alcohol

100% - 3% = 97% = 97/100

97/100 * 530 = milliliters of water
