Using my favorite X-diagram method of solving mixture problems, we find Gabe needs 10 liters of 20% solution and 40 liters of 60% solution to make 50 liters of 60% solution.

_____
The numbers on the right end of the diagaonals are the difference between the center number and the number on the left end of the diagonal. The numbers on the right indicate the proportion of the associated (top or bottom) contributor. That is, the proportion of 70% : 20% solution is 40 : 10. As it happens, 40 + 10 = 50, so these numbers are the numbers of liters of corresponding constituent needed for the final mix.

He will mix some 20% solution and some 70% solution to make 60% solution.

Let x = number of liters of 20% solution.
Let y = number of liters of 70% solution.

He wants to make 50 liters of 60% solution, so

x + y = 50   First Equation

The amount of acid in x amount of 20% solution is 20% of x, or 0.2x
The amount of acid in y amount of 70% solution is 70% of y, or 0.7y
The amount of acid in 50 liters of 60% solution is 60% of 50 liters, or 0.6 * 50 = 30
Now we add the amounts of acid.
0.2x + 0.7y = 30   Second Equation

x + y = 50
0.2x + 0.7y = 30

-0.2x - 0.2y = -10
0.2x + 0.7y = 30
------------------------
           0.5y = 20

y = 40

x + y = 50

x + 40 = 50

x = 10

Answer: He needs 10 liters of 20% solution and 40 liters of 70% solution.

Kareem cannot decide which of two washing machines to buy. The seling price of
Phantasy [73]

The first washing machine is 50% off- so it'd be $260 for the final price

The second washing machine was marked down by 20%, so it'd be 416. But then it was marked down another 30% so the final price would be $291

Since the first washing machine was just 50% of $520, it's a better deal rather than 20% of $520, then 30% of $416

I hope my answer was clear enough!

Wilbur spends 2/3 of his income, share 1/12, and saves the rest. What part of his income does he save? Give the answer in simple
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<em><u>1/4 of his income.</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If Wilbur spends 2/3 of his income, 1/3 or 4/12 of it is left for other purposes (It is easier if everything has a common denominator of 12). And if he shares 1/12 of that remaining amount, there is 3/12 left. And when we simplify 3/12, we get <u>1/4</u>.
