Answer:
176 of 12% vinegar
44 of 7% vinegar
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage vinegar required = 11%
Volume = 220 mL
First brand % = 7%
Second brand % = 12%
Let p = volume of 12% vinegar material
Mixture :
0.12p + 0.07(220 - p) = 220 * 0.11
0.12p + 15.4 - 0.07p = 24.2
0.05p = 8.8
p = 8.8 / 0.05
p = 176
176 of 12% vinegar and
220 - 176 = 44
44 of 7% vinegar
Pinpoint the ten's place.
look at the one's place. It is a digit ≥5, round up. If it is digit <5, round down.
all the digits to the right of the ten's place becomes 0.
for example, if you are given $216.23, the ten's place is a 1. Look at the number to the right of it, the one's place is a 6, bigger than 5, so you round up, the 1 becomes a 2. the result is $220.00
if you are given $214.23, the 1 stays a 1 because 4 is smaller than 5, the result is $210.00
