Jamie has 100 milliliters of a 50% isopropyl alcohol solution. How many milliliters of a 96% isopropyl alcohol solution does she
1 answer:
Answer:
318.2 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Jamie has 100 ml of a 50% isopropyl alcohol solution.
She wants to prepare a solution of 85% by adding 96% solution of isopropyl alcohol solution.
Let the amount of 96% solution required = x ml
Final amount of 85% isopropyl alcohol solution = (100 + x) ml
Therefore, equation for this situation will be,
100 × (50%) + (x) × (96%) = (100 + x) × (85%)
100(0.5) + 0.96x = 0.85(100 + x)
50 + 0.96x = 85 + 0.85x
0.96x - 0.85x = 85 - 50
0.11x = 35
x =
x = 318.18 ml
≈ 318.2 ml
Therefore, she will require 318.2 ml of 96% isopropyl alcohol solution.

Step-by-step explanation:
A word of caution before getting to the actual problem: I believe there is an important set of brackets missing in the original post. The expression on the left hand side should be:
(cosxtanx-tanx+2cosx-2)/(tanx+2)
Without the brackets, it is left unclear whether the denominator is just tanx or tanx+2. I recommend to use brackets wherever any doubt could arise.
Now to the actual problem: \we can make the following transformations on the left hand side:
which is shown to be the same as the right hand side, which was to be shown.
