For 100kg 

15% : (100-x)0.15
75% : 0.75x

equation

(100-x)0.15 + 0.75x = 100*0.63
solve for x:

x = 80kg of 75%
20kg of 15%

Sharon can buy cards in boxes of 12 and stamps in packages of 20 what is the least number of boxes of cards she should buy?
-Dominant- [34]

The least number of boxes Sharon should buy is 5 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cards in box = 12

Number of stamps in packages = 20

We will find least common multiple of 12 and 20.

12 = 12,24,36,48,60,.....

20 = 20,40,60,80,....

The LCM of 12 and 20 is 60.

Now,

12 cards = 1 box

60 cards = \frac{60}{12}\ boxes

60 cards = 5 boxes

The least number of boxes Sharon should buy is 5 boxes.

Solve the compound inequality |3x-9|≤15 and |2x-3|≥5. Give answer in interval notation.
laila [671]

Answer:

The solution of |3x-9|≤15 is [-2;8] and the solution |2x-3|≥5 of is  (-∞,2] ∪ [8,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving absolute value inequalities, there are two cases to consider.

Case 1: The expression within the absolute value symbols is positive.

Case 2: The expression within the absolute value symbols is negative.

The solution is the intersection of the solutions of these two cases.

In other words, for any real numbers a and b,

  • if |a|> b then a>b or a<-b
  • if |a|< b then a<b or a>-b

So, being |3x-9|≤15

Solving: 3x-9 ≤ 15

3x ≤15 + 9

3x ≤24

x ≤24÷3

x≤8

or 3x-9 ≥ -15

3x ≥-15 +9

3x ≥-6

x ≥ (-6)÷3

x ≥ -2

The solution is made up of all the intervals that make the inequality true. Expressing the solution as an interval: [-2;8]

So, being |2x-3|≥5

Solving: 2x-3 ≥ 5

2x ≥ 5 + 3

2x ≥8

x ≥8÷2

x≥8

or 2x-3 ≤ -5

2x ≤-5 +3

2x ≤-2

x ≤ (-2)÷2

x ≤ -2

Expressing the solution as an interval: (-∞,2] ∪ [8,∞)
