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

STALIN [3.7K]

C,D and F are correct.

C is what you would think of when reading it, you walked 12 and walked 1/4(12) more.

12 + 12(1/4) =

12 + 3 =

15

D is equal to C when simplified,

12(1+1/4) =

12 + 3 =

15

F is the same as the D, it just simplified the numbers in the parenthesis

12(1+1/4) =

12(4/4 + 1/4) =

12(5/4) =

15

icang [17]

Answer:

4/6 chance

One is taken at random, we do not know the colour so we just take away 1 from both colours, this leaves us with 4/6 chance.
