The numbers whose sum is 32 in which one number is 3 times the other is 8 and 24 respectively.

<h3>Equation of the unknown</h3>

Let

  • x = one of the unknowns
  • 3x = second unknown

x + 3x = 32

4x = 32

x = 32/4

x = 8

So,

3x = second unknown

= 3(8)

= 24

Check:

x + 3x = 32

8 + 24 = 32

A pharmacist wants to make 36ml of a 65% hydrogen peroxide solution. how many pls of 75% hydrogen peroxide must he mix with 57%
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

16 mls of the 75% solution and 20 mls of the 0.57% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations:

Let x = volume of 75% solution and y be volume of 57% solution

0.75x + 0.57y = 36*0.65

0.75x + 0.57y = 23.4.......(1)

x + y = 36.........(2)

From equation (2):

y = 36 - x

Substituting this into equation(1):

0.75x + (0.57(36 - x) = 23.4

0.75x + 20.52 - 0.57x = 23.4

0.18x = 23.40 - 20.52 = 2.88

x = 2.88/0.18

x = 16

so from equation (2): y = 36-16 = 20.

Why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get bigger while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

when you multiply a whole number by itself it will obviously get bigger.

4 to the 2nd power equals 16 because 4x4 = 16

if you were to multiply a smaller number though, it wouldn't get as big.

Each number you put to the same exponent will not get bigger at the same rate since each number isnt being multiplied by the same thing.

ex. 4 and 6 are raised to the second power both dont get multiplied by the same number 4 is multiplied by 4, and 6 by 6, therefore the bigger the number the bigger it grows.

Fractions get smaller for this reason when you have the fraction 2/3 raised to the second, both numbers must be raised. 2 to the second equals 4 while 3 to the second is 9.

1/2 to the second would then equal 1/4 since 1 to the second equals 1 and 2 to the second equals 4.

A store salesperson is paid 3% of his sales as a commission. He made sales of $2500. How much was his commission?​
PolarNik [594]

1) Write 3% as 3/100

2) Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have:

\frac{3}{100} of 2500 = \frac{3}{100} × 2500

Therefore, the answer is 75

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 3÷100×2500 which will give you 75 as the answer.

Commission = $75
