Answer:
D 41/10
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute the values given into the equation. Calculate.
- The actual cost of the sweater is $18
The question says to evaluate the cost of four dollars less than the cost of a sweater.
To do this, what we have to do is to create a mathematical equation of it.
Less than always insinuates that we are to subtract, and as such, we are going to subtract four dollars from the cost of the sweater to get our final answer.
Four dollars less than the cost of a sweater that costs $22 is
22 - 4 = $18

Solving a system of equations we will see that we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.
<h3>
How many liters of each solution do we need to use?</h3>
First, we need to define the variables:
- x = liters of the 35% acid used.
- y = liters of the 80% acid used.
We know that we want to produce 60 liters of 65% acid, then we have the system of equations:
x + y = 60
x*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65
(in the second equation we wrote the percentages in decimal form).
To solve this we need to isolate one of the variables in one equation and then replace it in other one, isolating x we get:
x = 60 - y
Replacing that in the other equation:
(60 - y)*0.35 + y*0.80 = 60*0.65
y*(0.80 - 0.35) = 60*(0.65 - 0.35)
y*0.45 = 60*0.30
y = 60*0.30/0.45 = 40
So we need to use <u>40 liters of the 80% acid solution</u>, and the other <u>20 liters are of the 35% acid solution</u>.
