Answer:

water : 90 ounces

salt solution: 90 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Call w the amount of water and call the solution containing 30% salt.

We want to get 180 ounces of a mixture with 15% salt.

So:

The amount of mixture will be:

w + s = 180

the amount of salt will be

0w + 0.3s = 180 * 0.15

0.3s = 27

s = 90\ ounces

Now we substitute the value of s in the first equation and solve for w

w + 90 = 180

w = 90\ ounces

Quan is inviting 3 friends to a party. Each friend wants 8 cookies and each box has 6 cookies.How many boxes should Quan get?
Anastasy [175]
First, figure out how many total cookies you need. You do this by multiplying the number of friends times the number of cookies each friend will get.

8 x 3 = 24

Then, you take the number of cookies and divide it by the number in each box to find the number of boxes you need.

24/6 = 4

Quan should get 4 boxes.

it cannot be -1, because is a seconds amount after moving.
