Let's say we'll mix "x" amount of the 80% solution, how much antifreeze is in it? well is just 80% of antifreeze, and the rest is something else.... what's 80% of "x"? so is (80/100)*x, or 0.8x.

likewise, the mixture will be a 70% solution, and let's say it adds up to "y" amount, so how much antifreeze is in it? well (70/100) * y or 0.7y.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{gallons}{amount}&\stackrel{\%}{quantity}&\stackrel{antifreeze}{quantity}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{80\% sol'n}&x&0.80&0.8x\\
\textit{10\% sol'n}&100&0.10&10\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&y&0.70&0.7y
\end{array}

so whatever "x" is, we know that x + 100 = y.

and we know that 0.8x + 10 = 0.7y.

\bf \begin{cases}
x+100=\boxed{y}\\
0.8x+10=0.7y\\
----------\\
0.8x+10=0.7\left( \boxed{x+100} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.8x+10=0.7x+70\implies 0.8x-0.7x=70-10\implies 0.1x=60
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{60}{0.1}\implies x=600

Answer:

The ratio of salmon to total fish caught is 9 over 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with what we know. We have 200 total fish caught and 36% are salmon. The rest is just mumble jumble so don't pay attention to that.

All we have to do is find 36% of 200, and the easiest way to do that is by first knowing that 36% of 100 is 36 so if we double that it will give us 36% of 200.

36 x 2 = 72

So, the ratio of salmon to total fish caught is 72 over 200. But, in simplest form is 9 over 25 because 72/200 divided by 4/4 = 9/25.

Hope this helps! If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate tp ask me or your teacher to be sure you really master this subject. Stay safe and please mark brainliest!

The school sold $6000 worth of tickets. Adult tickets were seven dollar and children’s tickets were three dollars. Three times a
padilas [110]

Answer:

1,500 tickets in total (375 adult tickets and 1,125 children tickets)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of adult tickets sold.

Three times as many children tickets were sold as adults, so 3x is the number of children tickets sold.

Children tickets were three dollars, so 3x children tickets cost \$3\cdot 3x=\$9x.

Adult tickets were seven dollar, so x adult tickets cost \$7\cdot x=\$7x.

The school sold $6000 worth of tickets.

Hence,

9x+7x=6,000\\ \\16x=6,000\\ \\x=\dfrac{6,000}{16}=375\\ \\3x=1,125\\ \\x+3x=375+1,125=1,500
