Suppose a lab needs to make 400 liters of a 39% acid solution, but the only solutions available to the lab are 20% acid and 50%

acid. What system of equations can be used to find the number of liters of each solution that should be mixed to make the 39% solution? Let c represent the number of liters of 20% acid solution and let d represent the number of liters of 50% acid solution.

Mixture problem.
Ratio of 20% : 50% acids
=50-39 : 39-20
=11:19
total volume
=400L
vol. of 20% acid=400*(11/(11+19)=400*(11/30)=146.667 L
vol. of 50% acid=400*(19/(11+19)=253.333 L

Alternatively, use c=volume of 20%, d=vol of 50%
then
0.2c+0.5d=400*0.39
Since c+d=400, we have
0.2c+0.5(400-c)=400*0.39=156
solve for c:
0.3c=44
c=146.667 and d=400-c=253.333  as before.

Mark earns $135 for selling a $1,500 refrigerator. Which sale listed has the same commission rate? A) $36 commission on a $400 d
sdas [7]
So the percentage Mark makes comparative to the price of the refrigerator sold is \frac{135}{1500}=0.09= 9%. If we take 9% of the given sale prices:
A: 0.09*400=36
B: 0.09*500=45
C: 0.09*1400=126
D: 0.09*600=54

So (A) has the same commission rate.

What is 3/7 - 2/7 this is unlike factors
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

\frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they have the same denominator (the number on the bottom), you can just subtract the numerators (the numbers on the top). So 3-2 is 1. You always leave the denominator as it is, don't subtract it.
