Please help me out and show work

Answer 1

Answer:

$s(x)=\frac{0.2}{x+5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In 5 liters, there is 4% salt.

Lets find liters of salt.

First, converting 4% to decimal (dividing by 100):

4% = 4/100 = 0.04

0.04 * 5 = 0.2

So, there is 0.2 liters of salt.

Now, x liters of water is added to total, so total is now:

5 + x

The concentration of salt will be amount of salt divided by amount of salt water solution.

Amount of salt = 0.2 (as seen above)

Amount of new salt water solution = x + 5

So,

Concentration of salt in new solution is  $\frac{0.2}{x+5}$

2nd choice is right.
