<u>ANSWER: </u>

110ML of 35% acid solution must be mixed with 10ML of 95% solution to obtain 120ML of 40% solution.

<u>SOLUTION:   </u>

First, set up table. fill in the unknowns with variables x and y.  The table is attached below.

From the table shown below, we can easily set up the two equations.  

Sum of values of two acids = Value of mixture  

0.35x + 0.95y = 48  

For convenience, we will multiply the entire equation by 100,

35 x + 95y = 4800     ------ (1)  

Now, Sum of amounts of each acid = Amount of mixture  

x + y = 120    --------- (2)

Multiply eqn 2  with 35 for easy calculation and derive the equation into one variable.

35 = 35x + 35y = 4200  

Subtracting equation (2) from (1),  we get

0 + 60y = 600  

Thus, 60y = 600  

y = \frac{600}{60} = 10

Substituting y = 10 in (2),

35x + 35(10) = 4200  

35x + 350 = 4200  

35x = 4200 - 350  

35x = 3850  

x = \frac{3850}{35} = 110

So, we have x = 110 and y = 10

We can conclude that 110ML of 35% acid solution must be mixed with 10ML of 95% solution to obtain 120 ML of 40% solution.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

She should order 96 orange shirts  

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture is shown below.

From the picture below Joan sold 10 blue shirts, 3 gray shirts , 5 orange shirts and 8 green shirts out of the colored Shirts. The ratio of the colored shirt sold are 10 : 3 : 5 : 8 . The total shirt sold that week is 10 + 3 + 5 + 8 = 26 colored shirts.

If she assumes the trend is going to continue the number of orange she should order can be calculated below.

Let us find the ratio of orange shirt sold to the total colored shirt sold.

orange shirt sold / total colored shirt sold  = 5/26

This means every group of 26 colored shirts sold will have 5 orange shirt . So they told us she requested a total of 500 colored shirts . Following the same trend, how many group of 26 colored shirt are in 500.  

5/26 = x/ 500

cross multiply

2500 = 26x

divide both sides by 26

x = 2500/26

x = 96.15

x = 96 orange shirts

She should order 96 orange shirts

Answer:

depreciation to be allocated to A = 2800tons x $0.600 /ton

        = $1680

Step-by-step explanation:

  • First calculate the amount of depreciation/ton
  • depreciation per ton = $125,000/208,000 = $0.600 /ton
  • Hence depreciation to be allocated to A = 2800tons x $0.600 /ton

        = $1680
