Answer:
- 26 ounces of 55% solution
- 104 ounces of 80% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then 130-x is the amount of 55% solution. The total amount of salt in the mix is ...
0.80x +0.55(130 -x) = 0.75·130
0.25x = 0.20·130 . . . . . . . subtract 0.55(130)
x = 0.20/0.25(130) = 104
130-x = 26
She should use 26 ounces of 55% solution and 104 ounces of 80% solution.

For us to find out how many times more expensive is the deli roast compared to the uncooked roast we need to change the units;
cost of 100g=0.221lb is $2.99
cost of 1 lb will therefore be:
1/0.221*2.99
=$13.53/lb
therefore the number of times more expensive the deli roast is compared to uncooked roast is:
[price of 1lb roasted meat]/[price of 1 lb uncooked meat]
=13.53/4.99
=2.7 times
Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.
(x+9)(x+2)*4
becomes:
(x^2+11x+18)*4
= 4x^2 + 44x + 72
anyway, this is how I would do this problem:
(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912
(x+9)(x+2) = 228
x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228
x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0
(x+21)(x-10) = 0
x = -21 or 10
The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10
The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4
or 19, 12, 4
