My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution) 
in simple terms:    %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x)            simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x                  get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13    divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data: 7 6 5 9 3 4 7 9 5 8

INTERQUARTILE RANGE (IQR) = Q3 - Q1

Rearranging the data: 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9

Q3 = 0.75(n+1)th term

Q3 = 0.75(10 + 1) th term

Q3 = 0.75(11)th term = 8.25th term

Taking the 8th term = 8

Q1 = 0.25(11)th term = 2.75th

Taking the average of the 8th and 9th term:

(5 + 5) / 2 = 10/2 = 5

Q3 - Q1 = (8 - 5) = 3
