Answer:

42 liters of 30% alcohol solution will be needed.

28 liters of 80% solution will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jotham needs 70 liters of a 50% alcohol solution.

Let the 30% solution needed be x.

We get the following equation:

70\times0.5=0.30x+0.80(70-x)

Solving this we get;

35=0.30x+56-0.80x

=> 35=56-0.50x

=> 0.50x=56-35

=> 0.50x=21

x = 42

Hence, 42 liters of 30% alcohol solution will be needed.

And 70-42=28 liters of 80% solution will be needed.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Cora's spend will be = $ 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the amount Ben spent

As Ava spent three times Ben will be 3y and half as much Cora(2y)

so the equation becomes

y + 2y + 3y = 50

6y = 50

y = 50/6

y = 8.33

So Cora's spend will be : 2y = 2(8.33) = 16.66 units currency

Note: if currency is in $

Then Cora's spend will be = $ 16.66
