x = quarts of 30% acid solution

y = quarts of 65% solution

x + y = 175

Each quart of the 30% solution contributes 0.30x quarts of acid; similarly, each quart of the 65% solution contributes 0.65y quarts of acid. So

0.3x + 0.65y = 0.55*175 = 96.25

That is, the chemist wants 175 quarts of a new mixture with a 55% concentration of acid, which comes out to 95.25 total quarts of acid. The total amounts of acid from either sides of this equation must balance out.

Now solve for x and y:

x + y = 175  ==>  y = 175 - x

0.3x + 0.65y = 96.25  ==>  0.3x + 0.65(175 - x) = 96.25

==>  0.3x + 113.75 - 0.65x = 96.25

==>  17.5 = 0.35x

==>  x = 50  ==>  y = 125

St boniface Hospital raises funds for research through its annual dinner and Gala event.For this event 353 tickets are available
nignag [31]

Given:

Total number of tickets = 353

Single ticket = $92

Family ticket = $122

Total sales = $39946

To find:

The number of family tickets.

Solution:

Let x be the number of single tickets and y be the number of family tickets.

Total tickets: x+y=353         ...(i)

Total sales: 92x+122y=39946          ...(ii)

Multiply (i) by 92 and subtract the result from (ii).

92x+122y-92(x+y)=39946-92(353)

92x+122y-92x-92y=39946-32476

30y=7470

Divide both sides by 30.

y=\dfrac{7470}{30}

y=249

Therefore, the number of family tickets is 249.

blagie [28]

Answer:

1)

23265


2)

9478.125

3) 102369.09375

Formula nonsense: V=l*w*h

1) meaning V= 33*47*15 so V= 23265

2) meaning V= 22.5*33.7*12.5 so V= 9478.125

3) meaning V= 122.25*50.75*16.5 so V= 102369.09375
