Answer:

An additional amount of blue is: 44 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem in the two steps:

First we will make proportion

w : b = 2 : 3  =>  w = 2 c  and b = 3 c  where c is coefficient of proportion

We know that we have a total of 20 l of paint, which mean>

w + b = 20 => 2 c + 3 c = 20 => 5 c = 20 => c = 20/5 = 4 => c = 4

w = 2 c = 2 · 4 = 8 liters

b = 3 · 4 = 12 liters

Now we will make second proportion:

w : (b + x) = 8 : (12 + x) = 1 : 7  

When we multiply external and internal members we get:

12 + x = 8 · 7 => 12 + x = 56  =>  x = 56 - 12 = 44 liters

x = 44 liters

7. The cost of renting the party room for 10 people is $117.50. The cost of renting the room is $151.25 for 15 people. Write an
Viktor [21]

Answer:

C = 6.75n + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the cost of renting the party room can be written in the form;

C= mn+k ......i

Where C = cost

n = number of people

Substituting the 2 cases into the equation we have,

Case 1

117.5 = 10m + k ......1

Case 2

151.25 = 15m + k .....2

Subtracting eqn 1 from 2 we have

151.25 - 117.50 = 15m - 10m

5m = 33.75

m = 33.75/5 = 6.75

Substituting m = 6.75 into eqn 1, we have

117.50 = 10(6.75) + k

k = 117.5 - 67.50

k = 50

Therefore, rewriting the eqn i, we have

C = 6.75n + 50
