There are three groups of people: 25 years old and younger, between 25 to 50, and 50 years old and older. Their fractions must equal to 1 because these three together form the whole.
1 = 1/3 + 2/7 + x
where x is the fraction for people ages 25 to 50 years old
x = 8/21
So, the actual number of people ages 25 to 50 years old is:
84(8/21) = 32 people
Distinct angles are when the angles of a polygon are all different.
Answer:
- 26 ounces of 55% solution
- 104 ounces of 80% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...
0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130
0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)
x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104
130-x = 26
She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.
Y=3x
x-2
The correct answer is y=6
