Let x% be the salt concentration of first solution.

Then in 8ml, amount of salt = \frac{8x}{100}

Given that to this 8ml solution, 11ml solution of a 47% salt solution is mixed.

amount of salt in 11ml of 47% salt solution is \frac{11*47}{100} = \frac{517}{100}

So, total amount of salt in new mixture = \frac{8x}{100} +\frac{517}{100} = \frac{8x+517}{100}

But given that this new solution is a 43% salt solution.

Hence amount of salt in new mixture of (8+11)=19ml solution of 43% salt solution is \frac{19*43}{100} = \frac{817}{100}

Hence \frac{8x+517}{100} = \frac{817}{100}

            8x+517 = 817

             8x=817-517 = 300

          x= 300/8 = 37.5

Hence the salt concentration in the first solution is 37.5%

madreJ [45]

It is simple, you are converting 150 of 200 into a fraction and reducing it

150/200=15/20

5 goes into 20 4 times

15/20=1/4

1/4=0.75=75%

Jet001 [13]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price is out of the original price so do 424.15 / 499.00 to find what it is out of in decimal form. Multiply your answer by 100 to find the percentage.

So:

424.15 / 499.00 =0.85

0.85 x 100 = 85

So the answer would 85%.

Hope this helps!
