The answer is 45%

1. Calculate how many ml of blue pigment are in 4ml of ink A if it contains <span>10% blue pigment:
4 ml is 100%
a ml = 10%
4 ml : 100% = a : 10%
a = 4 ml * 10% : 100% = 0.4 ml

2.</span> Calculate how many ml of blue pigment are in 10ml of ink A if it contains x% blue pigment:
10 ml is 100%
b ml = x%
10 ml : 100% = b : x%
b = 10 ml * x% : 100% = x/10 ml

3. 2. Calculate how many ml of blue pigment are in 14ml (because Four milliliters of ink A is added to 10 milliliters of ink B) of total mixture if it contains 35% blue pigment:
14 ml is 100%
t ml = 35%
14 ml : 100% = t : 35%
t = 14 ml * 35% : 100% = 4.9 ml

4. <span>What percentage of blue pigment is in the mixture of the two inks:
a + b = t
0.4 + x/10 = 4.9
x/10 = 4.9 - 0.4
x/10 = 4.5
x = 4.5 * 10 = 45</span>

The legs of a right triangle measure 7 and x. The<br> hypotenuse measures 25. Determine the value x
777dan777 [17]

Hi

According to Pythagoras :

The square of hypotenuse is the sum if the square if the two other side

so : 7^2 + X^2 = 25^2

49 + X^2 = 625

X^2 = 625-49

X^2 = 576

this equation as two roots . As a triangle cannot have a negative side value, I will only take positive value

so X = V576 =24

I need help can someone explain this simply
statuscvo [17]
In order to do this, you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem which is a^2 +b^2=c^2 It does not matter in what order a and b are, but c is always the hypotenuse or the side across from the right angle. First, you substitute 24 in for a and 45 in for b so your equation so far would look like 24^2 + 45^2 = c^2 Then, you square 24 and 45 and get 576+2025=c^2 Then you add the two to get 2601=c^2 Finally, you would square root both sides and get 51=c So the width of the recycling bin is 51 inches long

Beatrice decides to deposit $100 per month at the end of every month in a bank with an annual interest rate of 5.5% compounded m
murzikaleks [220]
We have to calculate a monthly annuity.

Total = Monthly Amount * [(1 + rate)^(n + 1) -1] / [rate] - Monthly Amount

where "n" is the number of compounding periods per year.
and n = 4.5*12 = 54
rate = rate/n = .055 / 12 = <span> <span> <span> 0.0045833333 </span> </span> </span>

Total = 100 * [(1<span>.0045833333)^55 -1] / [</span><span><span><span> <span> 0.0045833333 </span> </span>] -100 </span>
</span>Total = 100 * <span><span><span>0.2859624157 / </span> </span> </span> [<span><span> 0.0045833333 </span>] -100
</span>Total = <span>28.59624157 / </span>[<span> 0.0045833333 ] -100
</span>Total = <span> <span> <span> 6,239.18 -100</span>
</span></span>Total = 6,139.18
