Answer:

4 liters of 5% and 16 liters of 17.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let quantity of 5% be x liters and of 17.5% be y liters

x+y=20 hence y=20-x

Introducing percentages

0.05x+0.175(20-x)=0.15*20

0.05x+3.5-0.175x=3

-0.125x=-0.5

x=\frac {-0.5}{-0.125}=4

Therefore, y=20-x=20-4=16

You need 4 liters of 5% and 16 liters of 17.5% to achieve 20 liters of 15% acid solution

torisob [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

monthly salary=$1500

commission on total sales= 5.75%

let the total sales be x

so 5.75% of x= $575

5.75/100*x=576

0.0575x=575

x=575/0.0575

x=10000 sales
