A chemist is using 383 milliliters of a solution of acid and water.
If 17.3% of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of acid are there?
We basically need to calculate 17.3% of 383 milliliters.
[tex]\begin{gathered} acid=17.3\%\: of\: 383\: mL \\ acid=\frac{17.3}{100}\times383 \\ acid=0.173\times383 \\ acid=6.3\: mL \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the solution has 6.3 milliliters of acid.
