how many ounces of pure water must be added to 50 ounces of a 15% saline solution to make a saline solution that is 10% salt

Mathematics

50 ounces of 15% saline solution contains 0.15*50 = 7.5 ounces of salt.

Let x be the amount of pure water you add to this solution. Then you end up with (x + 50) ounces of this new solution. The amount of salt stays the same.

You want the new solution to have a concentration of 10%. This means you need

7.5 / (x + 50) = 0.1

==>  7.5 = 0.1(x + 50)

==>  7.5 = 0.1x + 5

==>  2.5 = 0.1x

==>  2.5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1

==>  x = 25

Fannie has a life insurance policy that will pay her family $24,000 per year if
gregori [183]

Answer:

The rate is 2% per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>It is given that sum to be $1200000.</em>

<em>The interest per year to be received is $24000.</em>

<em>Let the rate of interest be "r".</em>

The amount interest is given by the formula,

(Interest) = (Principle amount)(\frac{Rate}{100})(Time)

24000 = (1200000)(\frac{r}{100})(1)

r = \frac{24000}{12000} = 2

Thus the rate of interest is given by 2% per year.
