Let 
x = number of liters of the 40% salt solution 
y = number of liters of the 20% salt solution 

The two amounts (x and y) must combine to 1500 liters, so 
x+y = 1500
we can solve for y to get
y = 1500-x
after subtracting x from both sides

---------------------------------------------------

If we have x liters of the 40% salt solution (composed of pure salt plus other stuff) then we have exactly 0.40*x liters of pure salt. Simply multiply the decimal form of the percentage with the amount of solution. 

Similarly, if we have y liters of the 20% solution, then we have 0.20*y liters of pure salt

Combined, we have 0.40*x + 0.20*y liters of pure salt all together. 

We want 1500 liters of a 28% solution, so we want 1500*0.28 = 420 liters of pure salt

Equate the two expressions (0.40*x + 0.20*y and 420) to get
0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420

---------------------------------------------------

We have the equation 0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420 and we also know that y = 1500-x

Let's use the substitution property now

0.40*x + 0.20*y = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*( y ) = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*( 1500 - x ) = 420 ... note how y is replaced with 1500-x

Now we can solve for x
0.40*x + 0.20*( 1500 - x ) = 420
0.40*x + 0.20*(1500) + 0.20*(-x) = 420
0.40*x + 300 - 0.20x = 420
0.40*x - 0.20x + 300 = 420
0.20x + 300 = 420
0.20x + 300 - 300 = 420 - 300
0.20x = 120
0.20x/0.20 = 120/0.20
x = 600

Now that we know x, use this to find y
y = 1500-x
y = 1500-600 ... plug in x = 600 (ie replace x with 600)
y = 900
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

Answers:

We need 600 liters of the 40% solution
We need 900 liters of the 20% solution

What's the lateral area of a right circular cone if the diameter of the base is 4 m and the slant height of the cone is 15m? Rou
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The formula for the lateral surface area of a right circular cone is:
\pi rl
where r is the radius of the base, and l is the slant height.
Plugging in the values we get:
Lateral\  area= \pi \times \frac{4}{2} \times15\  m^{2}

What is median of 3 7 5 2 4 2 53 6 9 7 7 3 5 2 7 3 2 2 7
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median number of

3 7 5 2 4 2 53 6 9 7 7 3 5 2 7 3 2 2 7

Number them from least to greatest

2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 5 5 6 7 7 7 7 7 9 53

Since this isn't an even numbered set, all we do is cancel each number out equally on both sides until only one number which should be in the middle is left. This gives you an answer of 5

Hope this helps!
