nd Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 60% salt and Solution B is 85% salt. She wants to obtain 40 ounces of a mixture that is 70% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?

Answer:

16 for Sol A and 24 for Sol B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 40        y = 40 - x

.60x + .85y = .75(40)

.60x + .85y = 30      Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to remove the decimal points.

60x + 85y = 3000

60x + 85(40 - x) = 3000

60x + 3400 - 85x = 3000

-25x = -400

x = 16 ounces

y = 40 - 16

y = 24 ounces

What is the probability of choosing a
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Probability of choosing a penny at random is 1/5 or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

For many probabilities like this one, you have to add the total of materials or items together, even if they are different colors, shape, coin type, etc.

you have 12 pennies, 19 nickles, 14 dimes, and 15 quarters. This adds up to a total of 60 coins. Twelve of those are pennies.

You have twelve possible pennies to choose at random from a total of 60 in a bag.

So 12/60/ This simplifies to a probability of 1/5. If you divide 1 by 5 than it would be 0.2

The probability of choosing a penny from a bag of coins is 1/5, or 0.2.

Hope this helps

If you had a bank that offered 6.1% interest and compounded money 4 times a year, how many years would go by until you could tur
Verdich [7]

Answer:

t = 11.45 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A = p(1+r/n)^nt

A = future value = $12000

P = present value = $6000

n = number of periods = 4

r = interest rate = 6.1% = 0.061

t = number of years = ?

t = log(A/P) / n[log(1 + r/n)]

= log(12000/6000) / 4[log(1+0.061/4)]

= log(2) / 4[log(1 + 0.01525)]

= 0.3010 / 4[log(1.01525)]

= 0.3010 / 4(0.00657)

= 0.3010 / 0.02628

= 11.45 years
