Well, you already have the decay model, so just plug that in

$\bf A=96e^{-0.000121\cdot 17000}\implies A=96e^{-2.057}$

How much water must be evaporated from 130 gallons of a 9% acid solution to make a 12% acid solution?

Bad White [126]

Answer: 33 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We initially have 130 gallons of a $9\%$ acid solution and we need to change it to a $12\%$ acid solution, and for that it is necessary to evaporate $n$ gallons of water.

So, this situation can be mathemtically expressed as follows:

$(130)(9\%)=(130-n)(12\%)$

Then:

$(130)(\frac{9}{100})=(130-n)(1\frac{12}{100})$

Isolating $n$ :

$11.7=15.6-0.12 n$

$n=32.5 \approx 33$

Hence, we need to evaporate 33 gallons of water.

Tyger is trying to eat less sugar in his diet.He reduces his sugar intake from 15 spoons a day to 9 1/2 spoons a day. What is th

seraphim [82]

Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.

Percentage decrease would be expressed as

Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100

It becomes

5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%
