Answer: $9.91

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is $9.91 for the jeans. This is calculated by divided the total paid ($10.11) by 1.02, which represents the cost of the jeans + the 2% interest. 10.11 / 1.02 = $9.91.

You can then double check you work by calculating the 2% interest rate of the jeans. $9.91 x 2% = $ .20. The total is $9.91 for the jeans plus $ .20 for the tax, for a total of $10.11, which is the amount in the original problem.

A scientist needs 4.8 liters of a 12% alcohol solution. She has available a 22% and a 10% solution. How many liters of the 22% a
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

  • 4.0 L of 10%
  • 0.8 L of 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

For mixture problems, it is convenient to define a variable to represent the amount of the greatest contributor. Let x represent the amount of 22% solution in the mix. Then 4.8-x is the amount of 10% solution.

The amount of alcohol in the mix is ...

  0.22x +0.10(4.8-x) = 0.12(4.8)

Eliminating parentheses, we have ...

  0.22x -0.10x +0.10(4.8) = 0.12(4.8)

Subtracting (0.10)(4.8) and combining x-terms gives ...

  0.12x = 0.02(4.8)

  x = (0.02/0.12)(4.8) = 0.8 . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

The scientist needs 0.8 L of 22% solution and 4.0 L of 10% solution.
