The school's lemonade is $10\%$ lemon juice by volume, and the rest is sugar water. how many liters of lemon juice must be added

kondor19780726 [428]

The percentage of lemon in the juice is 10%
The percentage of water sugar is (100-10)=90%
The quantity of lemon in 20 liters of sugar water will be:
amount=(percentage of lemon)/(percentage of sugar water)×(amount of sugar water)
=10/90×20
=2 2/9 liters

A car valued at £18000 at the start of 2017, depreciated in value by 5% each year for 3 years. How much did it lose in value ove

Anna11 [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The amount lost over the 3 years s 2567.25£

<u>Explanation:</u>

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{I} \times\left(1-\left(\frac{r}{100}\right)\right)^{\mathrm{n}}$

where F = final value after n years

I = initial value of the car in 2017 = £18000 (given)

Since the value is depreciated 5% every year for 3 years,

r = percentage rate of depreciation = 5% (given)

n = 3 years

Substituting these values in formula, we get

$\mathrm{F}=18000 \times\left(1-\frac{5}{100}\right)^{3}$

= $18000 \times\left(\frac{95}{100}\right)^{3}$

= 15432.75£ which is the value of the car after 3 years

Finally 18000-15432.75 = 2567.25£ is the amount lost over this period.

What is 11/12 minus 3/8

Mrac [35]

Answer: $\frac{13}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation: 11/12 - 3/8

1. First, we will find a common denomenator. It needs to be the least common factor, or the answer will not be in its simplist form. Let's take a look at the multiples of 12 and 8.

12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96

8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72

2. Next, we will choose the smallest common multiple. That would be 24.

3. Now, we will work this out.

11/12 = 22/24

3/8 = 9/24

4. Subtract.

22/24 - 9/24

= 13/24

= $\frac{13}{24}$

I found the denomenators by multiplying.

Hope this answer helped!
