I think its the answer is 10%
Answer:
6kg pure copper and 30 kg 10% copper was mixed to give 36kg of 25% alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to produce 36 kg of 25% alloy
Let the Pure copper be x kg while 10% alloy be y kg
Pure copper is simply 100% copper
Thus;
x + y = 36 •••••(i)
Then;
100% of x + 10% of y = 25% of 36
= x + 0.1y = 9 •••••• ii)
From i x = 36-y
from ii, x = 9-0.1y
Equate both x
36-y = 9-0.1y
36-9 = 0.1y + y
0.9y = 27
y = 27/0.9
y = 30
x = 36-y
x = 36-30
x = 6 kg
Answer:
x= 
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
23, 25, 27
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be convenient to work "consecutive integer" problems by using a variable to represent the middle one.
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Let x represent the middle integer. Then (x-2) is the first of the three odd integers, and (x+2) is the third. The given relation is ...
2(x -2) +3x = 67 +2(x +2)
<h3>solution</h3>
5x -4 = 2x +71 . . . . . simplify
3x = 75 . . . . . . . . add 4-2x
x = 25 . . . . . . . divide by 3
The three integers are 23, 25, 27.
