<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • 32 ounces of 95% salt
  • 48 ounces of 70% salt
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the number of ounces of 95% salt she should use.

Then the total amount of salt in the 80 ounces of solution is ...

... 0.95x + 0.70(80-x) = 0.80·80

... 0.25x = 64 -56 . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 56

... x = 8·4 = 32 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

She should use 32 ounces of 95% salt and (80-32=) 48 ounces of 70% salt,

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Basketball shoes are on sale for 22% off. What is the regular price if the sale price is $42?
artcher [175]

Answer:

x =53.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

If the price is 22% of, you will pay 100% -22% = 78%

x * 78% = 42

Change to decimal form.

78x = 42

Divide each side by .78.

78x/.78 = 42/.78

Rounding to the nearest cent

x =53.85
