The first step to solve this question is to find out what 5/6 of 54000 is. So we multiply 5/6 by 54000. Why? Because there's the word "of" and "of" is usually associated in multiplication. So:
5/6 × 54000 = 45000.
So now we know that 5/6 of 54000 is 45000. So it means that she needs 45000 from senior citizens. But the question doesn't stop there, it also asks us to solve for the amount of votes she needs to win other than senior citizens.
Now we know that 45000 seniors need to vote for her we subtract 45000 to the total amount which is 54000.
54000 - 45000 is 9000.
So it means that she needs 9000 voters other than senior citizens to win the election for city council.
Answer: 600 bushels of 10% alcohol content and 400 bushels of 15% alcohol content.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let we add x quantity of 10% of alcohol content and y quantity of 15% alcohol content for making 12% of alcohol content mixture.
Then according to the question, 10% of x + 15 % of y = 12% of 1000
⇒ 0.1x + 0.15y = 120
⇒ 10x + 15y = 1200
⇒ 2x +3y = 2400 -------- (1)
And, x + y = 1000
⇒ 2x + 2y = 2000 ---------(2)
Equation 1) - equation 2)
We get y = 400
By putting the value of y in equation 1),
⇒2x + 1200 = 2400
⇒ 2x = 1200
⇒ x = 600
Thus, he needs to mix 600 bushel of 10% of alcohol content with 400 bushels of 12% of alcohol content for getting 1000 bushels of 12% of alcohol content.
0.5x22=11. To get answers like that, all you have to do is divide 11 by anything and then that number times the number you divided 11 by will give you the answer. So like 11 divided by 4 is 2.75. So 4x2.75=11.
36/30=1.2
30/1.2=25
3x+4=25
3x=21
X=7
Therefore a is your answer

The positive number but a negative result would be :
C. Irene is scuba diving at –30 feet. She swims 10 feet toward the surface to watch a school of fish.
The positive value is she swam 10 feet up to the surface, but she is still below the surface, which would be a negative result.
