The left and right pages of an open book are two consecutive integers whose sum is 359. Find these page numbers
ZanzabumX [31]

179 and 180

consecutive numbers have a difference of 1 between them

let the 2 numbers be n and n + 1, then

n + n + 1 = 359

2n + 1 = 359 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2n = 358 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 179 and n + 1 = 179 + 1 = 180

the 2 pages are 179 and 180

Myra is a scientist and needs 45 gallons of a 16% acid solution. The lab is currently stocked only with a 20% acid solution and
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The volume of the solution with 20% acid is 27 gallons and the one with 10% acid is 18 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Myra needs to mix "x" gallons of the solution with 20% and "y" gallons of the solution with 10%. The volume of the final solution must be 45 gallons, therefore:

x + y = 45

The concentration of acid of the final solution is:

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 45*0.16

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

Therefore we have a system of equation:

x + y = 45

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

We need to multiply the first equation by -0.1:

-0.1*x -0.1*y = -4.5

0.2*x + 0.1*y = 7.2

We now sum both equation:

0.1*x = 2.7

x = 2.7/0.1 = 27 gallons

y = 45 - 27  = 18 gallons

The function:
f ( x ) = x * 0.965^t
where x is the initial amount and t is the number of the years
80 = x * 0.965^3
80 = x * 0.89632
x = 80 : 0.89632 ≈ 89
Answer:
The initial amount of animals was 89.

Hope this helps!

Mrs.taylor bought a water tube to pull behind her boat. The tube cost $87.00 and 9% sales tax was added at the register .mrs.tay
Westkost [7]
To find the sales tax you’d need to find 9% of 87. You find this by using this template, x%/100%=y/z, x being the sales tax, y being 9% in cash, and z being the 87 dollars. You multiply the x value by the z value, (9 X 87=783) and then divide that product by 100%. This gives you the sales tax of 7.83, and when you add that to 87 you get $94.83. Subtract that from the 5 20 dollar bills ($100) and you are left with $5.27 change.
