Answer:

20kg of 25% copper alloy

30kg of 60% copper alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 kinds of metal, first metal(A) have 25% copper while the second metal(B) has 60% copper. The metalworker want to create 50kg of metal, which means the total weight of both metals is 50kg (A+B = 50). The metalworker also want the metal made of a 46% which is 23kg(0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46*50). From these sentences, we can derive 2 equations. We can solve this with substitution.

A+B = 50

A= 50-B

Let's put the first equation into the second.

0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46 *50

0.25(50-B) + 0.6B =23

12.5 - 0.25B + 0.6B =23

0.35B=23 -12.5

B= 10.5/ 0.35= 30

Then we can solve A

A= 50-B

A= 50-30

A=20

An animal shelter has a total of 350 animals comprised of cats, dogs, and rabbits. If the number of rabbits is 5 less than one-h
Andrew [12]
This is the concept of algebra, suppose that the number of cats is x;
number of cats will be x-20
number of rabbits will be 3/2x
thus the total number of animals will be:
x+(x-20)+3/2x=350
7/2x=350+20
7/2x=370
x=370*2/7
x=105.7=106
therefore we conclude that there we 106 cats in the shelter

find the difference between the simple interest and compound interest on 2500 for 2 years at 4% per annum , compound interest be
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Principal (P)= $2,500

Interest rate= 4%

Number of periods= 2 years

<u>First, we will determine the interest earned using the simple interest formula:</u>

I= P*r*t

I= 2,500*0.04*2

I=$200

<u>Now, using the compound interest formula:</u>

I= [P*(1 + r)^t] - P

r= 0.04/2= 0.02 (semi annual interest rate)

t=2*2= 4 semesters

I= [2,500*(1.02^4)] - 2,500

I= $206.08

Samantha deposit 300 in an account that earns an annual interest rate of 2.5 after nine months she computes the simple interest.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

She is doing a mistake of calculating interest after 9 months in place of after 12 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha deposit $300 in an account that earns an annual interest rate of 2.5%.

Now, Samantha after nine months of deposit computes the simple interest.

She is doing a mistake of calculating interest after 9 months in place of after 12 months.

The calculation of interest should be on a yearly basis (i.e. 12 months) as the interest rate is 2.5% per year. (Answer)

alex41 [277]

Answer:

The value is a statistic because the 6,076 adults in public restrooms are a sample

Step-by-step explanation:

A measure that is calculated from a sample is known as sample statistic.

A study conducted and for the study 6076 adults are selected to inquire about the hand washing habit of adults. The selected 6076 adults are a sample and for this sample we computed the average 23% which demonstrates that 23% of adults did not wash their hands before exiting. So, a statistic is 23% and  6076 adults are a sample.
