Answer:

The volume or amount of pure cordial to be added to the solution to make the strength 20% is 125 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters, are;

The volume of cordial in the jug = 1 litre

The percentage strength of the cordial = 10%

The proportion of the cordial that contains pure cordial = 0.1

Therefore, the volume of pure cordial in the jug = 0.1 × 1 = 0.1 × 1000 ml = 100 ml

The volume of the solvent = The volume of the solution -  The initial volume of pure cordial

∴ The volume of the solvent = 1000 ml - 100 ml = 900 ml

To increase the concentration of the cordial to 20% is given by the relation;

x/(x+900) = 0.2

Where;

x = The total volume of the pure cordial to be added to the pure solvent

Solving, gives;

x = 0.2×(x+900) = 0.2·x + 180

x -0.2·x = 180

0.8·x = 180

x = 180/0.8 = 225 ml

The total volume of the pure cordial to be added to the pure solvent = x = 225 ml

Therefore, the volume of pure cordial to be added to the initial volume of pure cordial in the solution, which is 100 ml, is therefore given as follows;

The volume or amount of pure cordial to be added = 225 ml - 100 ml = 125 ml.

The volume or amount of pure cordial to be added = 125 ml

A math teacher gets a starting salary of $30,000. IF she gets a 1.5% increase in salary each year, what will her total income be
kolezko [41]
No it is not base e.  It is 1.015.

An increase of 1.5 % =  1.015 

Year            1,             2,                       3,.........................., 30.
               30000, 3000(1.015),  30000(1.015)²,........... 30000(1.015)²⁹

Her Total Income is sum over the thirty 30 year period:

Sn =  a(r^n  - 1) / (r - 1);                a = 30000,  r = 1.015,  n = 30

Sn =  30000 ( 1.015^30  -  1) / (1.015 - 1)

      =  30000 (1.56308022 - 1) / (0.015) =  1126160.44

Total =  $ 1 126 160.44
