Answer: 4.8 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x liter of water is added with y liter of 25% beach solution.

Thus, According to the question,

x + y = 12  -------(1)

0% of x + 25 % of y = 15 % of 12

25 % of y = 15% of 12

25 y = 15\times 12

y = \frac{180}{25}

y = \frac{36}{5}

Put this value in equation (1),

We get,

x + \frac{36}{5} = 12

x = 12-\frac{36}{5}

x =\frac{60-36}{5}

x =\frac{24}{5}

Therefore, the quantity of water =  x =\frac{24}{5}=4.8\text{ liter}

And, the quantity of 25% bleach solution = y =\frac{36}{5}=7.2\text{ liter}

Answer:

Yes, x and y have a proportional relationship.  

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship means that, when comparing two quanities, that they are both changing at a constant (same) amount.  When looking at a table to compare quantities, you can see that the pounds of tomatoes 'x' is increasing by one (1) each time.  If you look at the amount spent in dollars 'y', you can see that for each pound (x), the cost is increasing by $4.  So, since for every pound of tomatoes that is purchased increases by $4, then their relationship is proportional.
