How much of a 60% acid solution must be mixed with 50 gallons of a 24% acid solution to obtain a solution that is 50% acid?
2 answers:
X gallons of a 60% acid solution contains 60%×x=0.6x gallons of acid.
50 gallons of a 24% acid solution contains 24%×50=0.24×50=12 gallons of acid.
After mixing, there will be x+50 gallons of a solution, and 0.6x+12 gallons of acid. The concentration must be 50%, so the volume of acid divided by the volume of the solution is 50%, or 0.5.
The answer is A. 130 gallons.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A store has a 20% sale on everything.
So since you are saving 20%, you will only be paying 80% of the original price.
To find the sale price use the following formula:
Sale price = 80% x original price
They told us the original price = 350 AED
This means:
Sale price = 80% x 350
I think it would be easiest to change 80% into a fraction if you don't have a calculator :)
80% =
This means that the
Sale Price= x 350 = 280 AED
