Cos60° = 0.5
Any angle less than 90° is an acute angle.
Therefore, 60° is the acute angle.
An acute angle measures less than 90 degrees, a right angle measures 90 degrees and, obtuse angle measures more than 90 degrees
A pharmacist has 40% and 80% of iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 4 liters of a 50% iodine mixture?
.
Let x = liters of 40% iodine
then
4-x = liters of 80% iodine
Using algebra:
.40x + .80(4-x) = .50(4)
.40x + 3.20-.80x = 2
3.20-.40x = 2
x = 4 liters (40% iodine)
80% iodine:
4-x = 4-4 = 0 liters needed (80% iodine)
Answer:
Form an equation:
let x be the price of a shirt
Then, the price of a sweater would be x - 5
So you would have:
4(x - 5) + 3x = 200
simplify
4x - 20 + 3x = 200
7x - 20 = 200
add 20 to both sides
7x = 220
divide both sides by 7
x = about 31.43
That means the cost of the sweater would be 31.43 - 5 = 26.43
