Move the discount sign two places to the left and divide the regular price by that decimal. Then take that price and put it in the selling price and take the selling price and subctract that from the original price
Below are the choices:
A. 80 mL of the 3.5% solution and 120 mL of the 6% solution
<span>B. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution </span>
<span>C. 140 mL of the 3.5% solution and 60 mL of the 6% solution </span>
<span>D. 120 mL of the 3.5% solution and 80 mL of the 6% solution
</span>
Let fraction of 3.5% in final solution be p.
<span>p * 3.5 + (1 - p) * 6 = 4.5 </span>
<span>3.5p + 6 - 6p = 4.5 </span>
<span>2.5p = 1.5 </span>
<span>p = 3/5 </span>
<span>3/5 * 200 = 120 </span>
<span>Therefore the answer is B. 120 ml of 3.5% and 80 ml of 6%.</span>
4y+2x=14 ==> multiply this 1st equation by (-1) => -4y-2x=-14
Now add it up to the 2nd equation
-4y-2x=-14
2y+2x=10
-------------- And now add them up
-2y +0x=-4
==> -2y=-4==> 2y = 4 & y=2
Last step: plug y into any equation & you will find x=3
A ration is basically a fraction. It can be written different ways i.e. 2/3 or 2:3. They are both the same thing. There are 5 girls out of 39 students... ratio= 5/39 or 5:39
