Answer:
5.6 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we take x gallons of 25% grape juice then it will contain 
gallons of pure grape juice.
Again, if we take y gallons of 75% grape juice then it will contain 
gallons of pure grape juice.
If we mix them then the total volume will become x + y = 7 gallons ...... (1)
Again the mixture will become 35% juice.
So, 
⇒ 0.25x + 0.75y = 0.35x + 0.35y
⇒0.1x = 0.4y
⇒x = 4y........ (2)
Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, 5y = 7, ⇒ y = 1.4 gallons
Hence, x = 4y = 5.6 gallons
Therefore, the 25% grape juice was mixed by 5.6 gallons. (Answer)
B is the correct answer.
We are adding the border of x thickness to all 4 sides of the table. This makes the new width of the table 36+x+x = 36+2x and the new length of the table 72+x+x=72+2x. To find the area, we multiply the length and width:
(36+2x)(72+2x) = 3006
Multiplying the binomials, we get:
36*72 + 36*2x + 2x*72 + 2x*2x = 3006
2592 + 72x + 144x + 4x² = 3006
Combining like terms gets us
2592 + 216x + 4x² = 3006
Subtract 3006 from both sides:
2592 + 216x + 4x² - 3006 = 3006 - 3006
-414 + 216x + 4x² = 0
Writing in standard form we have
4x²+216x-414=0

Step-by-step explanation:
1+1=2
It was marked down 1/4 of the original price to $128. That means $128 is equal to 3/4 of the original price. So the original price would be 4/3 of $128. I get $170.67 (rounded to the nearest cent).
First we need the equivalence between cups and pints to solve this question, the equivalence is:
1 cup is 0.5 pint
So we can use a rule of three simple, direct proportion to solve the problem, we change the fraction 1/4 = 0.25 to ease calculations:
1 cup ----> 0.5 pint
0.25 cup ---> x
x = (0.25)(0.5)/1
x = 0.125
Therefore 1/4 cups is equivalent to 0.125 pints
