Answer:
The 20 quarts are used for 6% butterfat milk and 10 quarts are used for 3% butterfat milk .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
6% butterfat milk and 3% butterfat milk should be mixed to yield 30 quarts of 5% butterfat milk .
Let us assume that x quarts are used for 6% butterfat milk .
Than (30 - x) quarts are used for 3% butterfat milk .
6% is written in the decimal form
= 0.06
3% is written in the decimal form
= 0.03
5% is written in the decimal form
= 0.05
Than the equation becomes
0.06 × x + (30 - x) × 0.03 = 30 × 0.05
0.06x + 0.9 - 0.03x = 1.5
0.06x - 0.03x = 1.5 - 0.9
0.03x = 0.6
x = 20 quarts for 6% butterfat milk .
(30 - x ) = (30 - 20) = 10 quarts for 3% butterfat milk .
Than 20 quarts are used for 6% butterfat milk and 10 quarts are used for 3% butterfat milk .
Let the total earnings be = x
Jennifer and Chris split the earnings in the ratio 3:2
Jennifer earned = $48
x=80
Hence total earnings are $80
(a) Chris earning is =
Hence, Chris earns $32
(b) Jennifer spends 30% of her earnings on a book.
So, price of the book =
Price of book = $14.40
(c) Jennifer also buys a magazine for = $5.40
So, total money Jennifer spent on book and magazine = 14.40+5.40=19.80
Money left with Jennifer = 48-19.80= $28.20
In fractions =
or multiplying the numerator and denominator by 10, we get
=
(d) Let the original price of the shirt = x
reduction percentage on x= 40%
Price paid after reduction = 16.80
