<h2>Answer:</h2>

The value of t is:

t=48.8889

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are asked to solve the linear equation in terms of variable t.

The equation is given by:

$0.95t+0.05(100-t)=0.49(100)$

Firstly we will solve the parentheses term in the left and right hand side of the equality as follows:

$0.95t+0.05\times 100-0.05t=49$

Now we combine the like terms on the left side of equality by:

$0.95t-0.05t+5=49\\\\i.e.\\\\0.90t+5=49$

Now we subtract both side of the equation by 5 to get:

$0.90t=44$

Now on dividing both side of the equation by 0.90 we get:

$t=\dfrac{44}{0.90}\\\\i.e.\\\\t=48.8889$

Hence, the value of t is: 48.8889
