Let x represent the amount to be added. The total amount of tin will be
  15%·20 + 10%·x = 12%·(20+x)
  (15%-12%)·20 = (12%-10%)·x
  3%·20/2% = x
  30 = x

30 pounds of 10% tin must be added to get a 12% mixture.

Answer:

<h2>y=x-2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • linear equation
  • PEMDAS
<h3>given:</h3>
  • b=-2
<h3>let's solve:</h3>

the slope of the line is 1

and linear equation slope intercept form:

  • y=mx+b

therefore our equation is

What percent is 608 million of 845 million
boyakko [2]
In order to solve that, let's call 845 100%, as we're solving it terms of 845. 845 is 100%, then it follows that 8.45 is 1%. 

Now we can see how many 8.45's go into 608, which comes out to 71.95266...%, which can be rounded nicely to 72%

The million doesn't matter.
