let x=the amount of bleach, and y=the total amount of liquid.
then we know:1) 1+x=y and 2) x/y=0.05
so x=0.05y (rearranging 2)
sub into 1 to get: 1+0.05y=y
1=0.95y
y=1/0.95=1.053 gallons (correct to 3dp)
so x=the amount of bleach to use=0.053 gallons (correct to 3dp)

How much bleach in 20 gallon water to make 1 percent solution?
A one percent solution means 1 part beach and 99 parts water. So we can answer the question by solving the equation 1 part bleach/99 parts water=x gallons bleach/20 gallons water. You can cross multiply. This is the same as 99x=20 so x=20/99 or .20 Let's check .20 gallons bleach/ 20 gallons water=.01 which is 1% .2 gallons is the same as 3.2 cups or 25.6 fluid oz.
What does percent by volume equal?
Just figure out what each word means. Lets talk about bleach (Chlorex) for example. Let's put some of it into a gallon container. How much should we put in? I say, ok, lets fill it half ways with the bleach. Lets finish up by filling the rest of the gallon container with water. Now lets talk about what we just did. We just added 50 percent of bleach to a gallon with water. That's the answer. We have the percent (50%) and we have the volume (one gallon). So we have talked about percent by volume. Hope that helps. In real life always add the bleach to the water, its safer.
