Answer:
1: 1/4 dollars or .25 dollars or 25%
2: 150 cents
3: 100 cents
4: 1/100 dollars, or 0.01 dollars, or 1%
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of first oil = A, volume of second oil = B, volume of mixture = M
A = ?, B = 4l, M = A + B
40%A + 25%B = 30%M
40%A + 25%4l = 30%(A+4l)
<span>40%A + 25%4l = 30%A + 30%4l
40A + 100l = 30A + 120l
40A - 30 A = 120l - 100l
10A = 20l
A = 2l

Answer: 2 litres of 40% oil dressing.
Also note: That's an approximation, because the volumes are not strictly additive. For example: mixing 50ml pure ethanol with 50ml water will give you about 95ml of mixture. To get an accurate answer, you'd have to measure the volume of the final mixture and then divide your total oil content by that<span>.</span>
His total sales were "x"
now, we know that 3.5% of "x" plus 5% of "x", will add up to his total commission, including sales of 6500 or less or more
so the commission for 6500 or less, is 3.5% of "x" or (3.5/100)*x -> 0.035x
the commission for above 6500 is 5% or (5/100) * x --> 0.05x
we know, that both commissions added together, are $415
thus
0.035x + 0.05x = 415 <----- solve for "x"
Equation: (70 + 70*.05) + (580 + 580*.07) + (620 + 620*.10) = Total Spent
Solving for this gets you $1320.30.
