Each year we add 4.5% interest.
4.5% as a decimal is 0.045.
We multiply by 1.045 to add this interest.
(not 0.045, this would just be the interest and wouldn't keep the whole)
To start: $1,000
Multiply by 1.045 for the first year.
Now we have $1,045.
Multiply by 1.045 again for the second year.
Now we're at 1092.025.
We need to round up to the nearest cent...$1,092.03
Solving a system of equations we will see that we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.
<h3>
How many liters of each solution do we need to use?</h3>
First, we need to define the variables:
- x = liters of the 35% acid used.
- y = liters of the 80% acid used.
We know that we want to produce 60 liters of 65% acid, then we have the system of equations:
x + y = 60
x*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65
(in the second equation we wrote the percentages in decimal form).
To solve this we need to isolate one of the variables in one equation and then replace it in other one, isolating x we get:
x = 60 - y
Replacing that in the other equation:
(60 - y)*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65
y*(0.80 - 0.35) = 60*(0.65 - 0.35)
y*0.45 = 60*0.30
y = 60*0.30/0.45 = 40
So we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent Kim's age. Then Jack's age is k-5 and the total of their ages is ...
k + (k -5) = 21
2k = 26 . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms
k = 13 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2; Kim's age
k -5 = 8 . . . . . . . Jack's age
Kim is 13; Jack is 8.
