Answer:
The amount of acid in third container is =42%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given , one container is filled with a mixture that is 30% acid a second container filled with a mixture that is 50% acid and the second container 50% larger than the first .
Let, the volume of first container is = x
Then , the volume of second container = (x+ x of 50%)
= x + 0.5 x
= 1.5 x
Therefore the amount of acid in first container 
= 0.3 x
The amount of acid in second container 
= 0.75x
Total amount of acid= 0.3x + 0.75x = 1.05 x
Total amount of solution = x+1.5x = 2.5x
The amount of acid in third container is = 
%
= 42%

Answer:
b because the value are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The race percent of population is
White: 45%
Hispanic: 27%
Black: 18%
Asian: 7%
Other: 3%
Part a.
The university has 2,815 Hispanic out of the 20,250 total population.
This is equivalent to (2815/20250)*100 = 13.9%
This percentage is less than 27%, so Hispanics do not have proportional representation.
Answer: The Hispanic students do not have proportional representation.
Part b.
Let x = the extra number of Hispanic students needed for proportional representation of 27% or 0.27.
Then
(2815 + x)/20250 = 0.27
2815 + x = 20250*0.27 = 5467.5
x = 5467.5 - 2815 = 2652.5
This means that 2,653 extra Hispanic students are required for a population of 20,250 students.
Answer: 2,653 extra Hispanic students.
