The number of people who bought £4 tickets are 139.

<h3>How to illustrate the equation?</h3>

Let £4 tickets be x

Let £5 tickets be y.

Therefore based on the information given, this will be:

x + y = 223 ..... i

4x + 5y = 936 ..... ii

From equation i

x = 213 - y

Put this into equation ii

4x + 5y = 936

4(213 - y) + 5y = 936

852 - 4y + 5y = 936

Collect like terms

y = 84

This implies that the number of £5 tickets is 84.

Recall that x + y = 223

x + 84 = 223

x = 223 - 84

x = 139

The number of £4 tickets is 139

A 1,000 mL solution of acetic acid contains 26 mL of pure acetic acid. Find the percent concentration of this solution.

Mrac [35]

Given:

Total solution : 1000mL

Pure acetic acid = 26mL

To find:

The percent concentration of given solution.

Solution:

We know that,

$\text{Percent concentration}=\dfrac{\text{Pure acetic acid}}{\text{Total solution}}\times 100$

Putting the given values, we get

$\text{Percent concentration}=\dfrac{26}{1000}\times 100$

$\text{Percent concentration}=\dfrac{26}{10}$

$\text{Percent concentration}=2.6$

Therefore, the percent concentration of this solution is 2.6%.

You were testing orange juice recipes it’s recipe calls for orange juice concentrate and water mix one has 4 cups of concentrate

Sav [38]

Answer:

First mixed is the most orangey.

Step-by-step explanation:

First:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=4\ cups\\\\Water=6\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=4+6=10\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{4}{10}\times 100=40\%$

Second:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=1\ cups\\\\Water=3\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=1+3=4\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$

Third:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=2\ cups\\\\Water=4\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=2+4=6\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{2}{6}\times 100=33.33\%$

First mixed has highest percentage of orange juice. Hence first mixed is the most orangey.
