Answer:

  800 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the amount of solution B added to 2400 mL of solution A. The total amount of alcohol (mL) in the mixture is ...

  10%×2400 + 50%×b = 20%×(2400 +b)

multiplying by 100 to get rid of the % signs and simplifying, we have ...

  24000 +50b = 48000 +20b

  30b = 24000 . . . . . . . . . subtract 24000+20b

  b = 800 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 30

Debra added 800 mL of 50% alcohol to her 2400 mL of 10% alcohol to make a 20% solution.

There is a 1/3 chance of the spinner hitting any letter then the next time it would be another 1/3 chance. You multiply these together and get 1/9 but this is not the answer because there is 1/9 of BOTH happening so you add 1/9 plus 1/9 and get 2/9. The answer is 2/9.

90-40=50: $90 dollars total. $40 dollars of that is the the cost so you have $50 dollars to find out.

$50÷$2=25: You have $50 dollars left and each visit is $2 so you went 25 times.
