48 kilograms of 15 % copper is combined with 72 kilograms of 75 % copper to create 120 kg of a 51​% copper​ alloy

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the kilograms of 15 % copper

Then, (120 - x) be the kilograms of 75 % copper

Then, according to question,

"x" kilograms of 15 % copper is combined with (120 - x) kilograms of 75 % copper to create 120 kg of a 51​% copper​ alloy

Thus we frame a equation as:

15 % of x + 75 % of (120 - x) = 51 % of 120

<em><u>Solve the equation for "x"</u></em>

15 \% \times x + 75 \% \times (120-x) = 51 \% \times 120\\\\\frac{15}{100} \times x + \frac{75}{100} \times (120-x) = \frac{51}{100} \times 120\\\\0.15x + 0.75(120-x) = 0.51 \times 120\\\\0.15x + 90 - 0.75x = 61.2\\\\0.6x = 90 - 61.2\\\\0.6x = 28.8\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.6\\\\x = 48

Thus 48 kilograms of 15 % copper used

Then, (120 - x) = (120 - 48) = 72

Thus, 72 kilograms of 75 % copper is used

Evan and Eileen Carter are husband and wife and file a joint return for 2019. Both are under 65 years of age. They provide more
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is b) four.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evan and Eileen Carter must submit a separate statement as dictated by the requirements for the claim.

In the case of the daughter, she no longer meets the requirement of a qualified child because she is over 24 years old; but qualifies as an eligible relative, and also, the income of her scholarship is not enough, so she needs the help of her parents to cover her expenses.

The couple also provides support in all expenses of Evan's                    great-grandmother; although Belinda lives in an asylum, the Carter can claim the exemption since, for qualified relatives, they do not ask as a mandatory requirement that they live in the same place.

And finally, Peggy cannot request an exemption since she is not a qualified relative, so she does not fall within the exceptions to claim, even if she lives in Evan and Eileen Carter´s house.

Therefore, the Carter can claim four dependency exemptions, one for each person that are Evan, Eileen, Pamela, and Belinda.
