Grant plans to evaporate enough water from 22 gallons of a 16% ammonia solution to make a 24% ammonia solution. Which equation can he use to find n, the number of gallons of water he should remove?

Answer provided by our tutors

The equation used to find n is:

0.16*22 = 0.24*(22 - n)

0.24*(22 - n) = 0.16*22

5.28 - 0.24n = 3.52
