Answer: choice A. 40 liters

====================================

Explanation:

x = number of liters of the 50% alcohol solution

If we have x liters of 50% alcohol, then we have 0.50*x liters of pure alcohol. This is added to 0.90*40 = 36 liters of pure alcohol (from the 90% solution).

So far we have 0.50*x + 36. This expression represents the total amount of pure alcohol. We want a 70% solution, so we want 70% of the total 40+x meaning 0.50*x + 36 is to be set equal to 0.70*(40+x) and we solve for x as shown below

0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40+x)

0.50*x + 36 = 0.70*(40)+0.70*(x)

0.50*x + 36 = 28+0.70*x

36 - 28 = 0.70*x - 0.50x

8 = 0.20x

0.20x = 8

x = 8/0.20

x = 40

So that is why the answer is choice A. 40 liters

irina [24]
3 feet west + 4 feet east means that the length of the rectangle is 7
