Let us assume that cost of each granola bar be $x and that of a cup of yogurt be $y  
From person A's purchase, we get  
12x + 7y = 15.5; equation A  
And from person B's purchase, 
6x + 11y = 11.5; equation B  
Let us multiply equation B by 2 and subtracting equation A from it, we will get  
12x + 22y - 12x - 7y = 23 - 15.5,  
=> 15y = 7.5 
or, y = 0.5  
Substituting value of y in equation A, we can find x  
12x + 7*0.5 = 15.5 
=> x = (15.5 - 3.5)/12 
or, x = 1  
Therefore, cost of granola bar is $1, and that of yogurt is $0.5

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is 20% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 45% pure anti
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

First brand = 18 gallons

Second brand = 12 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first brand brand be A and the second brand be B.

Thus, since he wants to obtain 30 gallons of a mixture that contains 30% pure antifreeze, then we have;

A + B = 30 - - - (eq 1)

Also; The first brand is 20% pure antifreeze, and the second brand is 45% pure antifreeze. Thus;

0.2A + 0.45B = (0.3 × 30)

0.2A + 0.45B = 9 - - - (eq 2)

From eq 1, we have; A = 30 - B

Put 30 - B for A in eq 2;

0.2(30 - B) + 0.45B = 9

6 - 0.2B + 0.45B = 9

0.25B = 9 - 6

0.25B = 3

B = 3/0.25

B = 12

Thus, A = 30 - 12 = 18 gallons

"The chemical is dispensed to completely fill 25 identical cylindrical containers" 
So obviously the volume of each is 1/25 of the whole volume, right? So you know V for one of these cylinders. 

"each with a radius of 5 in" 
V = pi*r^2*h 
<span>You know V. You know r. Plug them in. Solve for h. Should take one line.

</span><span>235,500 /25 = 9420 is the volume of 1 cylinder.
