First brand = A, second brand = B.

A + B = 249ml
9% A + 14% B = 13% 249ml

B = 249ml - A
9% A + 14% (249ml - A) = 13% 249ml

9A + 14 (249ml - A) = 13 * 249ml
9A + 3486ml - 14A = 3237ml
5A = 249ml
A = 49,8ml
<span>B = 249ml - A = 199,2ml
</span>
Answer: He should use 49,8ml of first brand and 199,2ml of second brand.

Also note: <span>That's an </span>approximation,<span> because </span>the volumes are not strictly additive<span>. 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 </span>measure<span> the volume of the final mixture and then divide your total alcohol content by </span>that<span>.</span>

Ponco charges phone users $1.25 for the first minute and $0.30 for each additional minute.Cowbell charges users $1.40 for the fi
Valentin [98]
We are going to denote the number of additional minutes with x, and the total cost of the call with y. 

From PONCO, we know that they charge $1.25 for the first minute, and $0.30 for each additional minute; knowing that our additional minute is x and our total cost of the call is y, we can set up an equation to relate the values:
1.25+0.30x=y we are going to call this equation (1)

From CowBell, we know that they charge 1.40 for the first minute, and $0.25 for each additional minute. so just like before we can set up an equation to relate the values:
1.40+0.25x=y We are going to call this equation (2)

Since the total cost y of equations (1) and (2) is the same, we can equate them to find x:
1.25+0.30x=1.40+0.25x
0.05x=0.15
x= \frac{0.15}{0.05}
x=3

We can conclude that after 3 additional minutes the cost of the calls will be the same; therefore, the correct answer is B.
