Answer:

  1. <em>0.75</em><em> liters of 5% hydrochloric acid solution </em>
  2. <em>0.25</em><em> liters of 45% hydrochloric acid solution.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that, x liters of the 5% hydrochloric acid and y liters of the 45% hydrochloric acid solutions are combined.

As Rajan need total of 1 liter of solution, so

x+y=1

i.e x=1-y --------------------1

As Rajan needs 5% hydrochloric acid and 45% hydrochloric acid to make a 1 liter batch of 15% hydrochloric acid, hence acid content of the mixture of two acids will be same as of the final one, so

0.05x+0.45y=1\times 0.15

i.e 5x+45y=15 -------------2

Putting value of x from equation 1 in equation 2,

\Rightarrow 5(1-y)+45y=15

\Rightarrow 5-5y+45y=15

\Rightarrow 5+40y=15

\Rightarrow 40y=15-5=10

\Rightarrow y=0.25

Putting the value of y in equation 1,

x=1-0.25=0.75

Therefore, Rajan must use 0.75 liters of 5% hydrochloric acid solution and 0.25 liters  of 45% hydrochloric acid solution.

Malachi bought a new fishing rod. The regular price of the fishing rod was $125.99. He bought it on sale with a 15% discount. Sa
Volgvan

If the discount is 15 percent, he still pays (100-15) or 85%

125.99 * 85%

125.99 * .85 = 107.09  is the price he pays for the rod

107.09 * .03 =3.21 is the sales tax

107.09+3.21=110.30 is the price of the rod with the discount and the tax
