My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution)
in simple terms: %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x) simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13 divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.
Answer:
100 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes 4 yards of fabric to make a costume for one student. She needs to make costumes for every student in chorus, so you just multiply this number by 25 and get 100 yards.
The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 .
The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 .
