An instrument used to measure glucose values has a certain range of values that it can measure. One patient's glucose value was too high, and the instrument could not read the value correctly. A patient's glucose specimen was diluted as follows: 30 mL serum was added to 70 mL diluent for a total diluted volume of 100 mL. This diluted sample was then reexamined, and its glucose value was found to be 300 mg/dL. What dilution was performed, and what glucose value should be submitted as the patient's actual glucose value?
