Answer:

66 ounces 70% salt solution and of 44 ounces of 95% salt solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = volume needed of 70% salt solution.

Let y = volume needed of 95% salt solution.

Total needed: 110 ounces of 80% salt solution.

Equation of total volumes:

x + y = 110    Equation 1

Equation of percentages of salt:

0.7x + 0.95y = 0.8(110)

0.7x + 0.95y = 88     Equation 2

Multiply both sides of equation 1 by -0.7; write equation 2 below it and add the equations.

       -0.7x - 0.7y = -77

(+)   0.7x + 0.95y = 88

--------------------------------

                  0.25y = 11

y = 44

x + y = 110

x + 44 = 110

x = 66

Answer: 66 ounces 70% salt solution and of 44 ounces of 95% salt solution

Answer:

x= 44 ounces y = 66 ounces  

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution would be an increase to find 80% salt.

Where we use 4/5 = 80 but use here 4/5.

We find 19/20 but just say 95 for solution B =

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 110        y = 110 - x

(70x + 95y) = 4/5 x 110

70x + 95y = 88    

70x + 95 y = 88

70x + 95 (88 - x) = 8800 make units equal or for start convert decimalization = same units as 2nd multiplied value.

70x + 8360 - 88x = 8800

-10x - 8360 - 8800 = y

-10x = 440

x = 44 ounces

y = 110- 44

y =  66 ounces

In a lottery, 5000 tickets are sold for $1 each, one first prize of $2000, 1 second prize of $500, 3 third prizes of $100, and 1
RSB [31]
There is 1/5000 chance to win first place of $2000,
1/5000 chance to win second place of $500
3/5000 chance to win third place of $100
10/5000 chance to win the consolation prize of $25.
The ticket costs $1.
We multiply each probability by the amount, and subtract the ticket cost, to get the expected net earnings:
(1/5000)($2000) + (1/5000)($500) + (3/5000)($100) + (10/5000)($25) - $1 = $(-0.39).
This means that there is an expected loss of $0.39.

Graph the line with the equation y = x + 6.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

Based off the equation we know that the slope is 1 and the y intercept is 6. We know that slope is rise/run so it goes UP one unit for every unit it goes RIGHT! We must start at the point (0,6) because that is the y intercept
