<span><span>Let x = amt of water evaporated

.05(50) = .08(50-x)
2.5 = 4 - .08x
.08x = 4 - 2.5
.08x = 1.5
x = 
x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated

Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right?
.05(50) = .08(50-18.75)
.05(50) = .08(31.25)
2.5 = 2.5</span><span>

kati45 [8]
First, 
149,500 * .10 = 14,950
149,500 - 14,950 = 134,550

then,
134,550 * .05 = 6727.50
134,550 - 6727 = 127,822.55 
127,822.50 * .04 = 5112.90

trade discount = 14950 + 6727.50 + 5112.90 
26790.40

hope this help
