Answer: 3 gallons of water
Step-by-step explanation:
3 gallons of alcohol +3 gallons of water = 6 gallons total
alcohol = 3/6 = 50%
Let x=amount of water added.
let 3+x=amount of alcohol and water in 15% solution.
Let 3 gallons of alcohol=percentage of alcohol*volume of solution
3=0.15*(3 + x)
3=0.45 + 0.15x
2.55=0.15x
2.55/0.15=x or 17 gallons of water added=x
let 3+x=amount of alcohol and water in 15% solution.
Let 3 gallons of alcohol=percentage of alcohol*volume of solution
3=0.15*(3 + x)
3=0.45 + 0.15x
2.55=0.15x
2.55/0.15=x or 17 gallons of water added=x
