Answer:

Amount of 5% solution = 5.7 Litres

Amount of 40% solution = 4.3 Litres

Step-by-step explanation:

First, of all, let x be the amount of 5% solution used

Since, the scientist needs 10 L of solution, then;

Let 10 - x be the amount of 40% solution used

Now, we are told that she needs 10 L of a 20% acid solution.

This means that;

5%x + 40%(10 - x) = 20%(10).

Simplifying this gives;

0.05x + 0.40(10 - x) = 0.20 × 10

Expanding the bracket gives;

0.05x + 4 - 0.4x = 2

0.4x - 0.05x = 4 - 2

0.35x = 2

x = 2/0.35

x ≈ 5.7 litres

Thus, she will need to mix 5.7 liters of the 5% solution.

Since 10 - x be the amount of 40% solution used , then;

the amount of 40% solution = 10 - 5.7 = 4.3 litres

The Rotation R maps all 60° about O the center of the regular hexagon. State the image of B for the following rotation.
Andru [333]
It is B. Since each angle is 60 degrees, if you rotate B counterclockwise 6 times, it means that you rotated B 360 degrees. Therefore, the image of B would be B.

A greeting card company can produce a box of cards for $7.50. If the initial investment by the company was $50,000, how many box
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

If cost of one box of card is $7.50 then the no of cards produced is 6667 cards and if cost of one box of card is $10.50 then the no of cards produced is 4762 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of one box of cards = $7.50

Initial investment = $50,000

No of box of cards produced = Initial investment / cost of one box of card

No of box of cards produced = 50,000/7.50

No of box of cards produced = 6667 cards.

if the cost of one box of cards is increased = $10.50

No of box of cards produced = Initial investment / cost of one box of card

No of box of cards produced = 50,000/10.50

No of box of cards produced = 4762 cards.

So, if cost of one box of card is $7.50 then the no of cards produced is 6667 cards and if cost of one box of card is $10.50 then the no of cards produced is 4762 cards
