Let x be the volume (liters) of pure (at 100%) acid needed
Let y be the volume (liters) of the other acid (at 10%) needed 
The final solution will be:
a) x+ y = 63 liters, AND their respective concentration in acid: is
100% x & 10% :y that will generate 63 liters at 20%
b) x +0.1 y = 63x 0.2 = 12.6

Let's solve this system of 2 equations:

x + y =63
x + 0.1 y = 12.6

Solving it will give you:

x= 7 liters at 100%
y = 56 liters at 10%

(63-x)= amount of 10% solution wanted

0.10(63-x) + x =0.20(63) =

6.3-0.1x+x=12.6

0.9x=6.3

X=7

63-7 = 56 liters

Check:

0.10(56) +7 = 0.2(63)

12.6 = 12.6

When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The solution to this question can be defined as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

In choice a:

Both children between 5 and 15 years old and 160 years old are also the populations of interest, and Kids from 5 to 15 years of age.

In choice b:

These findings could be compared like we do not know whether the groups were randomly selected, and the allocation is still not random; there could be no casual conclusion because the statement is valid even With sample research, and after randomization, filtering, and testing of 160 specimens (instruction vs no-instruction) Its analysis can be common to the community and replicated. There could be explanatory relations generated by experimental research. This analysis is observational and can therefore be used Causal relationships are established.gggg
