Moonshine Problem: How many gallons of 20% moonshine and how many gallons of 30% moonshine have to be mixed together to make 100 gallons of 25% moonshine? (x = gallons of 20% moonshine; y = gallons of 30% moonshine. 20% moonshine is called 20% because 20% of any amount (like x) is PURE MOONSHINE!)
1 answer:
Answer:
50 gallons 20%
50 gallons 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is gallons of 20% moonshine, and y is gallons of 30% moonshine, then:
x + y = 100
0.20x + 0.30y = 0.25(100)
Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination. Using substitution:
0.20x + 0.30(100 − x) = 0.25(100)
0.20x + 30 − 0.30x = 25
5 = 0.10x
x = 50
y = 50

Answer:
-4.88
Step-by-step explanation:
-5+(-3) = (-8)
7/10 = 98/140
3/7 = 60/140
15/4 = 525/140
525/140 + 60/140 + 98/140 = 683/140
683/140 = 4 123/140
4 123/140 = 4.88 (2dp)
4.88+(-8) = -4.88
To find the unit rate, you have to divide 240 by 2.5.
