Let  x gallons be the amount of pure antifreeze that should be added to the 30% solution to produce a solution that is 65% antifreeze. Then the total amount of antifreeze solution will be x+3 gallons.

There are 30% of pure antifreeze in 3 gallons of solution, then

3 gallons - 100%,

a gallons - 30%,

where a gallons is the amount of pure antifreeze in given solution.

Mathematically,

\dfrac{3}{a}=\dfrac{100}{30},\\ \\a=\dfrac{3\cdot 30}{100}=0.9\ gallons.

Now in new solution there will be x+0.9 gallons of pure antefreeze.

x+3 gallons - 100%,

x+0.9 - 65%

or

\dfrac{x+3}{x+0.9}=\dfrac{100}{65},\\ \\65(x+3)=100(x+0.9),\\ \\65x+195=100x+90,\\ \\35x=105,\\ \\x=3\ gallons.

Answer: he should add 3 gallons of pure antifreeze.

What is 5/20 as a percent if you could give an explanation that would be good but if not thats okay
Liono4ka [1.6K]
5/20 can also be represented as 25/100 or 25%. The can be done by multiplying the top and bottom both by 5 and then dividing our numerator (25) by our denominator(100) to get the %.

Bogdan [553]
X/3=2 
x=6

x/5=3
x=15

x/7=2
x=14

Each time, you multiply both sides by the denominator.

Hope this helps :)
