<span>The price for the three bags of chips is (3 x 2.50) - 2.50/2, because one of the bags will have 50% off. This makes $6.25. Divide this by 100 to find 1%, then multiply by 5 to find 5% — this tells you the amount of sales tax to add on. (6.25/100) x 5 = 0.31 to two decimal places. The final amount for the total purchase is 6.25 + 0.31 = $6.56.</span>

How much pure water must be mixed with 10 liters of a 25% acid solution to reduce it to a 10% acid solution?
elena-s [515]

Suppose you add x liters of pure water to the 10 L of 25% acid solution. The new solution's volume is x + 10 L. Each L of pure water contributes no acid, while the starting solution contains 2.5 L of acid. So in the new solution, you end up with a concentration of (2.5 L)/(x + 10 L), and you want this concentration to be 10%. So we have

\dfrac{2.5}{x+10}=0.1\implies25=x+10\implies x=15

and so you would need to add 15 L of pure water to get the desired concentration of acid.

Just find the figure of the rectangle plss
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

x= 21

y= 3

z= 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the center be O,

=> Triangle AOD is an Isosceles triangle so AO≅DO, "21 = x"

=> Line AC is divided in two equal parts by the center so if AO= 21 then

    7y = 21, and thus "y = 3"

=> BOC is also an Isosceles triangle so CO ≅ BO, if CO = 21 (7y → 7*3) then so will be BO. Therefore "z = 21"
