y = amount needed at 55% alcohol.

x = amount of pure water, or 0% alcohol

so, you have on hand 330 mL of 80% alcohol, so how much alcohol only is there on that mixture?  well, is 330 mL, so 80% of 330 is 330 * (80/100)  = 330 * 0.8 = 264 mL.

likewise, let's convert the other perecentage values to deciaml, bearing in mind that pure water is, well just pure water, it has no alcohol, or we can say that it has 0% alcohol.

\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{solution}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of }}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{mL of }}{amount}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{on hand}&330&0.8&264\\ \textit{pure water}&x&0&0x\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixture&y&0.55&0.55y \end{array}~\hfill \begin{cases} 330+x=\boxed{y}\\\\ 264+0x = 0.55y \end{cases}

\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{264+0x=0.55\left( \boxed{330+x} \right)}\implies 264=181.5+0.55x\implies 82.5=0.555x \\\\\\ \cfrac{82.5}{0.55}=x\implies 150=x

Answer:

the answer is 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because

27/30x100=90

which is 90

but the difference between 100 and 90 is 10

so its 10% but its closer to 11%

so yeah

i am not sure if its correct

Convert 83% into a decimal<br> can you guy help me to do that
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
To convert a percentage to decimal form, you need to divide the number in the percent by 100. In reality, that just looks like moving the decimal point to the left two places.

83% / 100 = 0.83

83% in decimal form is 0.83.
Hope that helped! =)
