She wants to serve --------- >  2 gallons of juice that is 75% orange juice and 25% pineapple juice

then 

2*0.75------------------ > 1.5 gallons of orange juice

2*0.25------------------ > 0.5 gallons of pineapple juice


2 gallons------------ >1.5 gallons of orange juice+ 0.5 gallons of pineapple juice

if 1 gallons pineapple juice mixture--------------------- > 0.40 gallons pineapple juice

X------------------------------------------------------------------- > 0.50 gallons pineapple juice

X=50/40=1.25 gallons juice mixture

1.25 mixture gallons---- > 0.50 gallons pineapple juice+0.75 gallons orange juice

Therefore

(2-1.25)=0.75 gallons of orange juice

2 gallons------------ >0.75 gallons of orange juice+ <span>1.25 mixture gallons  </span>

0.75*(p)+1.25*(m)=2--------------- > (0.75/1.25)*(p)+(1.25/1.25)*m=2/1.25

0.60p+m=1.6

 The answer is 0.60p+m=1.6

Henry is up for retirement after 35 long years at his pharmacy. Before retiring, he would like to know how much he would receive
satela [25.4K]

To find how much Henry can expect to receive from Social Security on a monthly basis, we first need to find how much he cant expect to receive from social security per year.

We know form our problem that Henry averaged an annual salary of $45,620, so to find how much can Henry expect to receive from Social Security per year, we just need to find the 42% of $45,620.

To find the 42% of $45,620, we are going to convert 42% to a decimal by dividing it by 100%, and then we are going to multiply the resulting decimal by $45,620:

\frac{42}{100} =0.42

Social security annual payment = (0.42)($45,620) = $19,160.40

Since there are 12 month in a year, we just need to divided the social security annual payment by 12 to find how much he can expect to receive each month.

Social security monthly payment = \frac{19,160.40}{12} = $1.596.70

We can conclude that Henry can expect to receive $1.596.70 monthly from Social Security.

5000-1400=3600

Since Peter already has 1400 dollars saved you can subtract that form the total amount and since he is trying to get the rest in eight months you just divide the difference by eight.
