OR,

YOU HAVE 270ml of 8% salt solution
WHICH WAS OBTAINED BY MIXING 
230ml of 9% solution
and pure water,

How much water was used for the mixture?

We are given the following information:

- Total volume of the mixture = 270 ml of 8% salt solution.
- The mixture was created by mixing 230 ml of 9% salt solution and pure water.
  
Let \( x \) be the volume of pure water used.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Salt content in the 230 ml of 9% solution**:
   The amount of salt in the 9% solution can be calculated by:
   \[
   \text{Salt in 230 ml of 9% solution} = 0.09 \times 230 = 20.7 \text{ ml of salt.}
   \]

2. **Total

YOU HAVE 270ml of 8% salt solution WHICH WAS OBTAINED BY MIXING 230ml of 9% solution and pure water, How much water was used for the mixture?

Find out how much pure water was used to create a 270 ml mixture of 8% salt solution from 230 ml of 9% salt solution. Learn about percentage calculations, mixture problems, and the conservation of mass with this step-by-step explanation, ideal for students in Grades 6-8.
