Let t, f, and s be the amount of 25%, 40%, and 60% solutions used.

We are told s=3f.  The general equation is:

100(0.25t+0.4f+0.6s)/(t+s+f)=45, and using s=3f  we have:

(0.25t+0.4f+1.8f)/(t+4f)=0.45

(0.25t+2.2f)/(t+4f)=0.45

0.25t+2.2f=0.45t+1.8f  

0.25t+0.4f=0.45t

0.4f=0.2t

t=2f, remembering that s=3f, will allow us to solve for f

t+s+f=60, using t and s from above

2f+3f+f=60

6f=60

f=10 L then

s=3f=30 L  and t=2f=20L

So 20L of 25%, 10L of 40%, and 30L of 60% acid solutions need to be mixed to make 60L of 45% acid solution.

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $12 plus a monthly fee of $28. Club B offers me
EleoNora [17]

A has fixed one time fee of $12 and if you go to it say "m" months you pay $28 for each month, so your total cost at A is really 12 + 28m.

B has a fixed one time fee of $20 and if you go to it "m" months you pay $26 for each month, so you total cost at B is 20 + 26m.

how many months for the cost to be the same?

\stackrel{A}{12+28m}=\stackrel{B}{20+26m}\implies 12+2m=20\implies 2m=8\implies m=\cfrac{8}{2}\implies m=4

well, since the cost for both is the same, we can just get A's, knowing that B is the same

12+28(4)\implies 12+112\implies 124
