Let amount of 30% ounces be x and that of 15% ounces by y.
x+y=24....i
0.30x+0.15y=0.25(24)....ii
from i:
x=24-y...iii
substitute iii in ii we get:
0.30(24-y)+0.15y=6
7.2-0.3y+0.15y=6
-0.15y=-1.2
y=8 ounces
x=24-8=16 ounces

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Program C allows students to earn a Mathematics degree (B.A. or B.S.) by combining courses in the Department of Mathematics with courses from one other department.  In most areas of specializations, mathematical and/or quantitative courses in other departments are part of the math degree program.  All Program C students take a minimum of five core math courses:  Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, Introduction to Linear Algebra, and a proofs course, usually either Introduction to Abstract Algebra or Fundamental Properties of Spaces and Functions I.

1/3 of the viewers opening rated the movie as goo and very good. 35 people rated it good and 20 people rated it very good. what
mylen [45]
Since a total of 55 people rated it good/very good, we know that 1/3 of the viewers are 55 people. So we can set the equation: 1/3x=55

Now, just multiply both sides by 3 (or divide by 1/3, same thing) and get your answer!

Use the diagram to determine which statement is true
hichkok12 [17]
A. Area of ABCD - Area of DGA = Area of DEFG
s^2 - 1/2bh = s^2
(5)^2 - 1/2(4)(3) = (3)^2
25 - 1/2(12) = 9
25 - 24 = 9
1 not equal to 9

B. Area of ABCD - Area of GHIA = Area of DGA
s^2 - s^2 = 1/2bh
(5)^2 - (4)^2 = 1/2(4)(3)
25 - 16 = 1/2(12)
9 not equal to 6

C. Area of ABCD + Area of DGA = Area of GHIA
s^2 + 1/2bh = s^2
(5)^2 + 1/2(4)(3) = (4)^2
25 + 1/2(12) = 16
25 + 6 = 16
31 not equal to 16

D. Area of DEFG + Area of GHIA = Area of ABCD
s^2 + s^2 = s^2
(3)^2 + (4)^2 = (5)^2
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25

The answer is D.
