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

Answer:

Tess is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, to find out the new discounted price without the sales tax, you multiply $24.50 by 15% (0.15). This gives you $3.68. You then subtract the $3.68 from $24.50. You get $20.82. To find the total with sales tax you then multiply the $20.82 by 10% (0.1). You add the discounted price with the sales tax and get the conclusion that they have enough money for the book.

gregori [183]

Answer:

$126

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Investment is done as per Simple interest.

Principal = $3000

Time for which the investment is to done = 7 years

Rate of interest = 6%

To find:

Interest earned when the investment matures?

Solution:

Formula for Simple Interest :

Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{PRT}{100}

Where P is the principal amount

R is the Rate of Interest

T is the time for which the investment is made

Putting the given values:

Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{3000\times 6\times 7}{100}\\\Rightarrow Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{12600}{100}\\Simple\ Interest = \$126

Therefore, the answer is:

Interest earned is <em>$126</em>.
