Question

Need help figuring out these equations and problems, I need a guide to solve one so I can figure out the rest. 

fraction remaining after a second extraction will be given by:
VB
Fx
((Px,ABVA+VB)
(4)
For n extractions, this can be generalized to:
VB
Fx
((Px,ABVA+VB))
(5)
Since Fx < 1 by definition, the efficiency should increase as the number of extractions increase.
An interesting point to note about extraction efficiency can be illustrated in the following
problem:
Compound X is dissolved in 100 mL of solvent B, and extracted using solvent A. The partition
coefficient PXAB has a value of 5.00. What percentage of X remains in solvent B after:
A single extraction of 100 mL solvent A
Two extractions of 50 mL solvent A
five extractions of 20 mL solvent A
ten extractions of 10 mL solvent A
