My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution)
in simple terms: %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x) simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13 divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.

Answer:
2 lockers have both
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, if we have stickers being placed on the 5th and 7th stickers, how many lockers have both stickers
What this question is simply asking us is to find the places where we have both stickers occurring
We can get this in places where there are multiples of both
We have this at 35th locker , 70th locker
