<span>Dr. Graham currently has two acid solutions.
60% acid AND 20% acid </span>
Dr. Graham needs 30 L of a 50% acid solution
We set up 2 equations in which s = 60% acid and t = 20% acid
A) s + t = 30
B) .60s + .20t = (.50 * 30)
We multiply equation A by -.20
A) = -.20s -.20t = -6 then we add it to B)
B) .60s + .20t = 15
.40s = 9
s = 22.5
t = 7.5
So, she needs to mix 22.5 liters of 60% acid with 7.5 liters of 20% acid.

From the table, for every 6 containers of water, you need 8 containers of red dye. So, for every one container of red dye you need 0.75 containers of water (6/8). Then, multiply that by 100 (since you wanted to know water necessary for 100 containers of red dye). For 100 containers of red dye, you would need 75 containers of water.

Six friends equally share the cost of a gift. They pay $90 and receive $42 in charge . How much does each friend pay?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up the equation first.

What do we know:

1. We have 6 friends spliting the costs of the gifts

2. After purchasing the gifts they have $42 in change

3. They originally had $90 to spend.

Equation:

6f + $42 = $90

Next: Subtract the $42 from each side and we are left with:

6f = $48

Divide both sides by 6 and we are left with

f = $8

Since f represented the cost each friend spent our answer is $8.00
