The cook needs to add 21.3 ounces of water to obtain the concentration
The cook has 32 ounces of 5% apple cider vinegar.
The total apple cider vinegar the cook has is:
[tex]Total = 32 \times 5\%[/tex]
[tex]Total = 1.6[/tex]
Let the quantity of water be x.
To dilute 3% apple cider vinegar, the cook would make use of the following equation
[tex]Total = 3\%\times (Apple\ Cider\ Vinegar + Water)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Total = 3\%\times (32 + x)[/tex]
Substitute 1.6 for total
[tex]1.6= 3\%\times (32 + x)[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3%
[tex]53.3=32 + x[/tex]
Subtract 32 from both sides
[tex]53.3-32= x[/tex]
[tex]21.3= x[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]x = 21.3[/tex]
Hence, the cook needs to add 21.3 ounces of water
