[Deepak_J_Shah]

X grams of water were added to the 80 grams of a strong solution of acid. As a result, the concentration of acid in the solution dropped by Y percent. What was the concentration of acid in the original solution?

1. X = 80
2. Y = 50

If someone could solve this alebraically
Thank you
