A chemist plans to mix 10 liters of a 40% acid solution with some 70% to obtain a 50% solution

40% = 0.4

70% = 0.7

50% = 0.5

A chemist plans to mix 10 liters of a 40%. So 10 times of 0.4 = 4

Let x be the some amount  of solution of 70%

70% of x = 0.7x

chemist obtain a 50% of solution

Amount of mixture is 10 + x

So 10+x of 50% = (10+x)*0.5

Now we frame an equation

10 * 0.4  + x * 0.7 = (10+x) * 0.5

4 + 0.7x = 5 + 0.5x

Subtract 4 and 0.5x on both sides

0.2 x= 1

Divide by 0.2

So x= 5

5 liters of 70% of solution is used.

Given: 30 total days and there were 6 days with rain with a temperature below 70 degrees

To find the percentage, divide the part (6 days) by the whole (30 days) then multiply the quotient by 100.

(6 days / 30 days) x 100 = 20%

20% of the days in June had a temperature below 70 degrees and had rain.

that simplifies to 2w+2=16

2w=14

w=7

the width is 7
