Q. Devin volunteers at Big Pup Rescue. He is mixing up shampoo solution for the dog washing station. He needs 22 cups of shampoo concentrate for every 99 cups of water. Devin will use 3636 cups of water.\newlineHow much shampoo concentrate should Devin add to the water to make the shampoo solution?\newline____ cups of shampoo concentrate
  1. Calculate sets of water: Devin needs to mix 22 cups of shampoo concentrate for every 99 cups of water. He's using 3636 cups of water. First, let's find out how many sets of 99 cups are in 3636 cups of water.\newlineCalculation: 3636 divided by 99 equals 44.
  2. Determine shampoo concentrate needed: Now, since each set of 99 cups of water requires 22 cups of shampoo concentrate, we multiply the number of sets by the amount of shampoo needed per set.\newlineCalculation: 44 sets times 22 cups of shampoo per set equals 88 cups of shampoo concentrate.
