Answer:

  • 26 ounces of 55% solution
  • 104 ounces of 80% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...

  0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130

  0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)

  x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104

  130-x = 26

She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.

sasho [114]
Just find out 5% of 59.95, then just add that to 59.95. 2.99 is 5% of 59.95, 2.99+59.95=62.94
