Answer:
- 273 mL of 5%
- 117 mL of 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...
0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)
0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify
q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10
390-q = 273
The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.
The algebraic expression uses the terms to denote symbols
sum of means addition
difference of means subtraction
product of means multiplication
quotient of means division
Here we have the term 6x
which actually means 6 times x or
6 multiplied by x
hence by multiplication we use the word product of
so we have the product of 6 and a number as our right answer

Answer:
You could answer this two ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1: Set up proportion
x/40=55/100
Cross-multiply and you will get..
2200=100x
x=22
Method 2: Use decimals
As we saw in the first method, 55 percent is equal to 55/100. 55/100 is equal to 0.55.
You can multiply 0.55 and 40 to get the answer as well.
0.55 times 40 is 22.
Hope this explanation helped! ☺️
