Answer: 15mL

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Create a table. Multiply across and add down. The bottom row (Mixture) creates the equation.

                  <u>  Qty  </u>   ×   <u>   %          </u>   =    <u>  Total           </u>

Solution A     10         15% → 0.15          10(0.15) = 1.5

<u>Solution B      x          20% → 0.20        x(0.20) = 0.20x</u>

Mixture      10 + x   ×    18% → 0.18   =    1.5 + 0.20x

                                  (10 + x)(0.18) = 1.5 + 0.20x

                                    1.8 + 0.18x  = 1.5 + 0.20x

                                    1.8               = 1.5 + 0.02x

                                    0.3              =          0.02x

                                                15  =  x

Answer:

15 mL of the solution with 20% water will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the inverse relationship

10 mL * (18-15)% = x mL * (20-18)%

x = 10 mL * (3/2) = 15 mL

Jerry wants to buy 4 Michelin tires. Each tire costs $213.99. Calculate his total price if the tax rate is 7.25%.
arlik [135]

Answer:

$918.02

Step-by-step explanation:

As each tire costs $213.99, you will be multiplying that by 4:

$213.99*4 = $855.96

Now you will have to add the tax to the price. You will do the following:

$855.96*.0725 = 62.0571

You will round that to $62.06

$855.96+$62.06

The total would be $918.02
