To increase an amount by 3% what single multiplier would you use?

Mathematics

loris [4]3 years ago
3 0

3% is the decimal  0.03 .

To make a number 3% bigger, multiply it by  1.03 .

The ' 1 ' part is the amount that's already there, and
the ' .03 ' part is the amount to be added onto it.

A student has a 2% salt water solution and a 7% salt water solution. To best imitate salt water at a local beach, he needs 1 lit
FromTheMoon [43]

Let

x-------> the amount of 2\% solution

y--------> the amount of 7\% solution

we know that

2\%=0.02\\7\%=0.07\\3.5\%=0.035

so

x+y=1

y=1-x -------> equation A

0.02x+0.07y=0.035 -------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

0.02x+0.07(1-x)=0.035

0.02x+0.07-0.07x=0.035

0.05x=0.035

x=0.7\ liters

find the value of y

y=1-x

y=1-0.7=0.3\ liters

therefore

The student need 0.7\ liters of 2\% solution and 0.3\ liters of 7\% solution

<u>the answer is</u>

A) The percent values were written incorrectly in the equation

B) The amount of 7% solution should be written as 1 – x, not x – 1.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Y-2x=6 => y=6+2x
Y+2x=0
(6+2x) + 2x = 0
6 + 4x = 0
4x= 6
X=6/4
X= 3/2
Y=6+2x
Y=6+2. 3/2
Y= 6 + 3
Y=9
Check: y-2x=6
9-2. 3/2 = 6
9 - 3 = 6
