15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
It would be: 20* 10 = 200 ft²
so, the carpet should have the area of about 200 ft²
The formula for triangle area is b•h/ 1/2. so you would do 12•5=60. then divide that by 2 to get 30
Change you’ll receive is = 0.09
you can only buy 11 because if you divide 20/11 it will give you 1.81 and if you multiply 11x 1.81 it will give you 19.91 which is close to $20 & that’s the most you can buy .
It will be 3 cause 3 cubed is 27
