Answer:

She should add 30 ounces of the 12% vinegar she should add to 40 ounces of the 5% vinegar to obtain the needed vinegar with an 8% acidity level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be ounces of the 12% vinegar she should add to 40 ounces of the 5% vinegar to obtain the needed vinegar with an 8% acidity level.

We have the equation

\frac{(X*0.12)+(40*0.05}{X+40} =0.08 when 8% acidity level is reached.

Solving the equation we have

X*0.12+2=0.08(X+40)=0.08X+3.2

That is 0.12X-0.08X=3.2-2=1.2

Finally 0.04X=1.2 and

X=30

The average weekly salary of two employees is $5250. One makes $500 more than the other. Find their salaries.
irga5000 [103]

Answer: thier salaries are $5000 and $5500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the average weekly salary of one employee be =x

And that of the other employee be = x+500

Such that if thier average of their salaries= $5250

So, their total salary=  $5250 x 2=10,500

The  equation  to solve each employee salary becomes

x+x+500=10,500

2x+500=10,500

2x=10,500-500

2x=10,000

x=10,000 /2

x= first employee salary =$5000

second employee =   x+500 =$5500
