Answer

5 ties, as the equivalent ratio would be 50:5, meaning 50 shirt to 5 ties  

Step-by-step explanation:  What should have been recognized is that if 20 shirts align to 2 ties, that means that for every ten shirts you would have 1 tie. The ratio doesn't change. That means that if you have 30 shirts you would have 3 ties, and 40 shirts you would have 4 ties. The common multiples are  10 and 1, and are originally introduced through 20 and 2. The reality is from  the standpoint of unit rate, for every 10 shirts you have 1 tie. You simply just had to multiply once understanding this.

<h2>1 way</h2>

For 20 shirts Eric has

20×2=40 ties

After shopping Eric has 50 shirts

So

20 shirts 50 shirts

40 ties x ties

\frac{20}{40}  =  \frac{50}{x} \\ x =  \frac{50 \times 40}{20}  \\ x = 100

Answer: He would have 100 ties

<h2>2 way</h2>

If he has 2 ties for 1 shirt he will have

2×20=40 ties for 20 shirts, so for 50 shirts ge would have

50×2=100 ties

Answer: He would have 100 ties

svetoff [14.1K]
So... let's change the concentration percentage to decimal format. .. so 40% is just 4/100 or 0.4  and so on.

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&amount&concentration&&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;concentration\\&#10;amount&#10;\end{array}\\&#10;&-----&-------&-------\\&#10;\textit{40\% sol'n}&x&0.4&0.4x\\&#10;\textit{80\% sol'n}&y&0.8&0.8y\\&#10;-----&-----&-------&-------\\&#10;mixture&6&0.5&3&#10;\end{array}

so... whatever "x" and "y" may be, we know the must add up to 6 liters.

and whatever 0.4x and 0.8y are, we also know, they must add up to a 3 of concentrated amount.

thus    \bf \begin{cases}&#10;x+y=6\implies \boxed{y}=6-x\\&#10;0.4x+0.8y=3\\&#10;----------\\&#10;0.4x+0.8\left( \boxed{6-x} \right)=3&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "x", to see how much of the 40% solution will be needed.

what about "y"?  well, y = 6 - x.
