Answer:

4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that g = the number of gallons of a 20% salt solution,

The first thing we want to do here is to convert each " percentage " into decimal form, to make things a bit simpler here.

( 20(percent) = 0.20

( 30( percent ) = 0.30

( 25( percent ) = 0.25

Before this mixture takes place, the 20% salt solution is associated with g, the number of gallons of a 20% salt solution. Respectively the 30% salt solution is associated with 4 gallons. After mixing the two ( g and 4 ) the 25% salt solution should be associated with g + 4. We can therefore conclude the following equation -

0.20( g )+0.30( 4 ) = 0.25( g + 4 )

And now, let us solve for " g, "

0.2g + 1.2 = 0.25g + 1

- 0.2g       = - 0.2g

_________________

1.2 = 0.05g + 1

- 1  =          -  1

_________________

0.2 = 0.05g,

g = <u><em>4 gallons of a 20% salt solution</em></u>

Let us solve for the total area. In this problem, we solve area 1 (the rectangle in the middle) and the area 2 ( the two half circle on the sides).

Solve for area 1:
Area rec = L * W = 5units * 4 units = 20 squared units

Solve for area 2:
Area cir = pi *r² = 3.14 * (2 units)² = 12.56 squared units

Total area = 20 + 12.56 = 32.56 foot²
Total cost = 32.56 foot² * ($23/foot²) = $ 748.88

Total cost is $748.88.

Answer:

A=50.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Your diameter is 8, which makes the radius 4.

The area of a circle is

A = \pi r^{2} \\A = \pi 4^{2}

A=50.24
