Answer #1

We need to make a stock of 75% glycerol, which means in 100 ml 75ml will be glycerol and 25 ml will be water. In order to make 50ml of the desired solution 37.5ml (75*50/100) of glycerol will be added and 12.5ml (50-37.5) of water will be added.

If glycerol existed in a powdered form then for 75% of glycerol -75g will be glycerol powder and 100ml will be water and for 50 ml of the desired solution, 37.5g of glycerol and 50ml of water will be added.
