Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution

Answer:
x = 6/5 or x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve:
|5x+2|=8
We know that |u|=a the u = a and u = -a
Now solving:
|5x+2|=8
5x +2 = 8 or 5x +2 = -8
5x = 8-2 or 5x = -8-2
5x = 6 or 5x = -10
x = 6/5 or x = -10/5
x = 6/5 or x = -2
So, x = 6/5 or x = -2
Answer: It dropped 55%
Step-by-step explanation: well if you multiply 140x.55 it equals to 77
It would come out to be $41.8275, so if you round it would cost $41.83.
