Answer:

58.33 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are already 25 lbs of alloy of copper

Of this 25 lbs, 20% is pure i.e. copper content = 25(0.5) = 5lbs.

Now available is

Copper      Other metals

5 lbs                20 lbs

Let x lb of 30% copper is added.

Then new alloy will have 5+0.3x lb copper in total of 25+x lbs

Percentage pure = \frac{5+0.3x}{25+x} =27%

Simplify to get

\frac{5+0.3x}{25+x} =\frac{27}{100} \\\\Cross multiply:\\27(25+x) =100(5+0.3x)\\500+30x =675 +27x\\3x = 175\\x = 175/3 = 58.33 lbs

Hence answer is 58.33 lbs should be added.

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, for every 5 boys there is 3 girls. A simple way to solve this, but longer, yet the one I personally use count up, go 5*2 3*2 and find which one adds up to 64. Once you get to 64, total including the product of both, you will have the amount of boys and girls. In this case

5*8 and 3*8 = 64

3*8 = 24

5*8 = 40

There are 24 girls

We ordinarily expect a variable to be a single letter. This problem statement defines each variable using a double letter, so that is what we have used. (Sometimes Brainly doubles up variable content in copied text, so we suspect that may have happened here.)
