Answer:
Part a) 2.36 quarts
Part b) 47.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ---> percentage of the resulting mixture that is antifreeze
Remember that
we know that
3 quarts of a solution multiplied by 0.22 (percentage in decimal form) plus 2 quarts of a solution multiplied by 0.85 (percentage in decimal form), must be equal to 5 quarts of a solution multiplied by x (percentage of the resulting mixture)
so
The linear equation that represent this situation is
solve for x
Convert to percentage
therefore
The percentage of the resulting mixture that is antifreeze is 47.2%
To find out how many quarts of antifreeze are in the resulting mixture, multiply the total quarts of the resulting mixture by the percentage in decimal form
Answer:
270 & 30
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number is n,
the equation :
n× 1/9 n= 27(n +1/9 n)
1/9 n² = 27n + 3n
1/9 n² = 30n
1/9n²- 30n = 0
n(1/9n -30)= 0
n = 0 or
1/9n = 30 => n = 30×9 = 270
270 is a number,
the other : 270/9 = 30
Subtract 18 from 72 to get Michelle's current age.
72 - 18 = 54
