Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean, add up all the numbers in the data set, and then divide by the number of terms in the data set
<em>Add </em>
Add up the numbers in the data set
17+24+26+13
80
<em>Divide </em>
Divide by the number of terms in the data set
In this case, there are 4 terms (17, 24, 26, 13)
80/4=20
The mean of the data set is 20
So, how much acid is there in 6 gallons? well is 20% acid or (20/100), so the amount of acid in it just (20/100) * 6 or 1.2, the rest is say water.
now, if we want a 90% solution, and say we add "y" gallons, how much acid is in it? well (90/100) * y, or 0.9y.
now let's add "x" gallons of pure acid, now, pure acid is just pure acid, so is 100% acid, how much acid is there in it? (100/100) * x, or 1x or just x.
we know whatever "x" and "y" amounts are, they -> x + 6 = y
and we also know that x + 1.2 = 0.9y
X=4
explanation:
-reduce the fraction
-make the numerators equal
-divide both sides by 5
