Answer:
$2,589.52
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with the compound interest formula above, where
A = future value
P = principal amount invested
r = annual rate of interest written as a decimal
n = number of times interest is compound per year
t = number of years
For this problem, we have
P = 2000
r = 0.026
n = 2
t = 10,
and we find A.
1)We need to know the amount of yellow tint in the old mixture.
amount of yellow tint=30% of 40 liters
30%=30/100=0.3
Amount of yellow tint=0.3(40 liters)=12 liters.
2)We need to find the amount of yellow tint in the new mixture.
amount of yellow tint in the new mixture=12 liters + 9 liters=21 liters.
3) we calculate the amount of the new mixture:
amount of new mixture=40 liters + 9 liters=49 liters
4) we compute the percent of yellow tint in the new mixture:
percent of yellow tint =(amount of yellow tint / amount of mixture)*100
percent of yellow tint=(21 liters / 49 liters)100≈42.9%
Answer: The percent of yellow tint in the new mixture is 42.9%.
note: if this answer is not correct you can try it with 42.8%
Answer:
