Answer:

Total cost=$25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can derive two expressions as follows;

Total cost for the First shipping company=Medium box charges+total additional charges

where;

Medium box charges=$20

Total additional charges=Charges per pound×number of additional pounds (n)

Total additional charges=1×n=n

replacing;

Total cost for the First shipping company=20+n....equation 1

Total cost for the second shipping company=Medium box charges+total additional charges

where;

Medium box charges=$15

Total additional charges=Charges per pound×number of additional pounds (n)

Total additional charges=2×n=2 n

replacing;

Total cost for the First shipping company=15+2 n....equation 2

Equating equation 1 and equation 2

15+2 n=20+n

2 n-n=20-15

n=5

Replace the value for n in equation 2

Total cost for the First shipping company=15+2 n....equation 2

Total cost=15+(2×5)=$25

A chemist is using 357 milliliters of a solution of acid and water. If 13.2 % of the solution is acid, how many milliliters of a
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The quantity of acid in the solution is 47.1 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The quantity of solution of acid and water = 357 millimeters

The percentage of acid in the solution = 13.2 %

Let the quantity of acid in the solution = x ml

<u>So, According to question </u>

13.2 % of the total quantity of acid in the solution = x

I.e x = 13.2 % × 357

Or, x = \frac{13.2}{100} × 357

Or, x = 0.132  × 357

∴  x = 47.124 millimeters

So , The quantity of acid = 47.1 ml

Hence The quantity of acid in the solution is 47.124 ml  Answer
