\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{30\% spice}&x&0.30&0.30x\\
\textit{65\% spice}&175&0.65&(175)(0.65)\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&x+175&0.50&(x+175)(0.50)
\end{array}

so.. as you can see, we use the decimal notation for the percentages... 65% is just 65/100 and 50% is just 50/100 and so on

so.. whatever the salted amounts are, we know they'll add up to (x+175)(0.50)

thus  (0.30x) + (175)(0.65) = (x+175)(0.50)

solve for "x"

6. For what value of p, the binary number 110P/2 represents 25?​
lions [1.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

25 as binary number is

11001

1×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 0×2² + 0×2¹ + 1×2⁰ = 16 + 8 + 1 = 25

25×2 = 50 = 11001 × 2 = 110010

multiplying a binary number by 2 is the save effect as multiplying a normal decimal number by 10 : all digits move one position to the left, and a 0 is put into the empty right position.

and so, we see

110P = 110010

P = 010

FYI : you normally don't mix binary and decimal numbers. if one of the numbers is binary, then all the others have to be binary too.

so, the problem should have looked like

110P/10 = 11001

110P = 11001×10 = 110010

P = 010
