In order to change from 35 to 62, we have to add 27. So, the question becomes: which percentage of 35 is 27?
To answer this question, we set this simple equation
And solving for x we have
So, if you change from 35 to 62, you have an increase of about 77%
3 reds in the 10 remaining cards
so that is 30% are red
X would equal 8
Step-by-step explanation:
5-3(8) = -19
5 multiplied by negative 3 times 8 equals negative 19
negative 3 times 8 equals negative 24 plus 5 equals 19
We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.
A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.
