Answer:

800 liters of 90% saline solution and 1200 liters of 40% saline solution should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At 2000 liters of 60% saline solution the attendant has to mix a 90% and a 40% saline solution.

Now, to find the number of liters of saline solution each should be used.

Let the liters of 90% saline solution mix be $x.$

And let the liters of 40% saline solution mix be $y.$

So, the total number of liters:

$x+y=2000.$

$y=2000-x\ \ \ ....(1)$

Now, the total percentage of saline solution:

$90\%\ of\ x+40\%\ of\ y=60\%\ of\ 2000$

$\frac{90}{100}\times x+\frac{40}{100}\times y=\frac{60}{100}\times 2000$

$0.9x+0.4y=1200$

Substituting the value of $y$ from equation (1) we get:

$0.9x+0.4(2000-x)=1200$

$0.9x+800-0.4x=1200$

$0.5x+800=1200$

Subtracting both sides by 800 we get:

$0.5x=400$

Dividing both sides by 0.5 we get:

$x=800.$

The liters of 90% saline solution mix = 800.

Now, substituting the value of $x$ in equation (1) to get the liters of 40% saline solution:

$y=2000-x$

$y=2000-800$

$y=1200.$

Thus, the liters of 40% saline solution = 1200.

Therefore, 800 liters of 90% saline solution and 1200 liters of 40% saline solution should be used.

Which statement is true about the parts of this expression?

olganol [36]

A) The constant is 7.5. FALSE. 7.5 is a coefficient, not a constant.

B) The coefficients are 7.5 and -9. FALSE. The coefficients are 7.5, -1/9 and 2. 50, being a constant, could be regarded as a coefficient in this case.

C) The variables are x and y. FALSE. There are three variables: x, y and z.

D) The like terms are 7.5y and 2y. TRUE. The variable (y) is the same in each term.
