Answer:

1 3/7 quarts should be drained off and replaced with pure antifreeze.

1 3/7 ≈ 1.4286

Current amount of antifreeze in quarts is -

30/ 100 × 10 = 3

40% ---> 4 quarts

Let the amount drained of and replaced with antifreeze be x-

The amount left after draining off is 10 − x.

The amount of antifreeze  is 30/ 100 (10−x).

30/100(10-x)+x=4

3-3/10x+x=4

3+x(1-3/10)=4

x=1*10/7=1 3/7 quarts

check;

10- 1 3/7 = 8 4/7

=(30/100*8 4/7)+1 3/7

=(3/10 * 60/7) + 10/7

=3*6/7 + 10/7

=28/7

=4

4 liters of pure antifreeze is mixed into 10 quarts.

A store pays $10 for a blanket, and the markup is 115%. A customer will also pay a 5 1/2% sales tax. What will be the total cost
Naddik [55]
Firstly, we need to find the price of the blanket/bracelet after the 115% increase.
     $10 x 1.15 = $15.20

Now for the 5.5% sales tax, which is applied the the new value of $15.20
     $15.20 x 0.055 = 0.83
     $15.20 + $0.83 = $16.03

The final cost for the blanket/bracelet is %16.03

Explain how you would graph the line y = 2/3x + 3 using its slope and y-intercept.​
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Slope = 2/3 Y intercept +3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the y-intercept (0,+3) in the xy axis. Remember, this point always lies on the vertical axis y.

Starting from the y-intercept, find another point using the slope. Slope contains the direction how you go from one point to another.

The numerator tells you how much steps to go up or down (rise) while the denominator tells you how many units to move left or right (run).

Connect the two points generated by the y-intercept and the slope using a straight edge (ruler) to reveal the graph of the line.
