how many kg of pure salt must be added to a 30kg of 2% solution of salt and water to increase it to a 10% solution?

Read Solution (Total 2)

initial salt content = (x/30)*100=2
x=.6kg
let y is added solution concentration = 10%
((y+.6)/(30+y))*100=10
10y+6=30+y
9y=24
y=8/3 kg
y=2.667kg

x+30=y
x+30*2%= 10%y
x+30*2%= 10%*(x+30)
