The percentage of lemon in the juice is 10%
The percentage of water sugar is (100-10)=90%
The quantity of lemon in 20 liters of sugar water will be:
amount=(percentage of lemon)/(percentage of sugar water)×(amount of sugar water)
=10/90×20
=2 2/9 liters
Answer:
it will take her 40 seconds to finish the race.
3/8 per minute, would make it 1/8 every 20 seconds. since she only has 2/8 of a mile left to go, 20 seconds +20 seconds = 40 seconds
(if you needed how long it takes her to run the whole race, it's 2 minutes 40 seconds, which would make her the fastest mile runner in the world)
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this helps :)
Let "a" and "s" represent the costs of advance and same-day tickets, respectively. Your problem statement gives you two relations.
.. a + s = 35 . . . . . the combined cost of one of each is 35
.. 15a +40s = 900 . . total paid for this combination of tickets was 900
There are many ways to solve these equations. You've probably been introduced to "substitution" and "elimination" (or "addition"). Using substitution for "a", we have
.. a = 35 -s
.. 15(35 -s) +40s = 900 . . substitute for "a"
.. 25s +525 = 900 . . . . . . . simplify
.. 25s = 375 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 525
.. s = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 25
Then
.. a = 35 -15 = 20
The price of an advance ticket was 20.
The price of a same-day ticket was 15.
