To solve this kind of problem,  there are two concepts: the total amount of solution and the total amount of acid

in this case, suppose there are x grams of the 25% solution, y grams of the 70% of soltuion
x + y = 100                             => y= 100-x
0.25x + 0.7y =0.6 *100  =60
replace y with 100-x:   0.25x + 0.7(100-x)=60
                                     0.45x=10
                                            x= 22.22
100-22.22=77.78
so he needs to drain about 77.78 grams of the solution.

77.78 grams

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

A chemist has 100g of 25% acid solution.

<u>Question:</u>

How much of these solution he needs to drain and replace with 70% acid solution to obtain 100g of 60% acid solution?

<u>The Process:</u>

We will solve the chemical problem of mixed concentration. A chemist wants to get an acid solution with new concentrations. He needs to drain the initial solution and replace it with another concentration of an acid solution.

  • Let x grams 25% acid solution mixed with y grams of 70% acid solution to obtain 100g of 60% acid solution.
  • Remember, a chemist first had 100 grams of acid solution. Then the part he needs to drain is (100 - x) grams.

Let's arrange the equations.

\boxed{ \ x + y = 100 \ grams \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ y = 100 - x \ } \ ....... (Equation-1)

\boxed{ \ \frac{(x \ grams)(25 \%) + (y \ grams)(70 \%)}{100 \ grams} = 60 \% \ } ....... (Equation-2)

We work on Equation-2 first.

\boxed{ \ 25x + 70y = 6000 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 5x + 14y = 1200 \ } \ ... (Equation-2)

Substitute Equation-1 to Equation-2.

\boxed{ \ 5x + 14(100 - x) = 1200 \ }

\boxed{ \ 5x + 1400 - 14x = 1200 \ }

\boxed{ \ 5x - 14x = 1200 - 1400 \ }

\boxed{ \ - 9x = -200 \ }

Therefore, \boxed{ \ x = 22.22 \ grams \ }

Thus, he needs to drain \boxed{\boxed{ \ 100 \ grams - 22.22 \ grams = 77.78 \ grams \ }}

I have some questions regarding combinations in finite. Here is my first one I am stumped on:
podryga [215]

We will get the number of possible selections, and then subtract the number less than 25 cents.

We can choose the number of dimes 5 ways 0,1,2,3 or 4.
We can choose the number of nickels 4 ways 0,1,2 or 3.
We can choose the number of quarters 3 ways 0,1, or 2.

That's 5*4*3  = 60 selections 

Now we must subtract from the 60 the number of selections of coins that are less than 25 cents. These will involve only dimes and nickels. 

To get a selection of coin worth less than 25 cents:
If we use no dimes, we can use 0,1,2  on all 3 nickels.
That's 4 selections less than 25 cents. (that includes the choice of No coins at all in the 60, which we must subtract).

If we use exactly 1 dime , we can use 0,1,2, or all 3 nickels.
That's the 3 combinations less than 25 cents.

And there is 1 other selection less than 25 cents, 2 dimes and no nickels. 

So that's 4+3+1 = 8 selections which we must subtract from the 60.
 
Answer 60-8 = 52 selections of coins worth 25 cents or more.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The probability that exactly one switch is good is

P(x) =0.0392

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a switch is defective is:

P(D) = \frac{2}{100} =0.02

The probability that a switch is not defective is

P(D') = 1-P(D)=0.98

Therefore, if two switches are selected, the probability that exactly 1 is good is:

P(1=1)=P (D) P (D ') + P (D') P (D)

P(x)=(0.02)(0.98) + (0.98)(0.02)

P(x) =0.0392
