Answer:
first what you do is divide two and then for and then after you divide them together you can get your number so I'm going to show you example how to do it
Step-by-step explanation:
first divide 4 / 2 and then you can get your answer after you divide that
X= number of tubs Kasey sold
3x= number tubs sister sold
Add the number sold by Kasey and her sister to equal the total sold (88).
x + 3x= 88
combine like terms
4x= 88
divide both sides by 4
x= 22 number tubs Kasey sold
Number Sold by Sister
3x= 3(22)= 66
CHECK:
x + 3x= 88
22 + 3(22)= 88
22 + 66= 88
88= 88
ANSWER: Kasey sold 22 tubs and her sister sold 66 tubs.
Hope this helps! :)
Assume that the amount needed from the 5% solution is x and that the amount needed from the 65% solution is y.
We are given that, the final solution should be 42 ml, this means that:
x + y = 42 ...........> equation I
This can also be written as:
x = 42-y .......> equation II
We are also given that the final concentration should be 45%, this means that:
5% x + 65% y = 45% (x+y)
0.05x + 0.65y = 0.45(x+y)
We have x+y = 42 from equation I, therefore:
0.05x + 0.65y = 0.45(42)
0.05x + 0.65y = 18.9 .........> equation III
Substitute with equation II in equation III as follows:
0.05x + 0.65y = 18.9
0.05(42-y) + 0.65y = 18.9
2.1 - 0.05y + 0.65y = 18.9
0.6y = 18.9 - 2.1
0.6y = 16.8
y = 28 ml
Substitute with y in equation II to get x as follows:
x = 42-y
x = 42 - 28
x = 14 ml
Based on the above calculations:
amount of 5% solution = x = 14 ml
amount of 65% solution = y = 28 ml
The correct choice is:
The teacher will need 14 mL of the 5% solution and 28 mL of the 65% solution.
