Answer:
8,600 acres are old-growth trees.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find this by multiplying the percentage by the overall number of acres
20% * 43,000 = 8,600
Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:
3/2, 3/8, 5/6, 3/1
For the denominators (2, 8, 6, 1) the least common multiple (LCM) is 24.
Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 24.
Since 20 total gallons are needed, the amount of 10% solutions can be x and the amount of 20% solutions can be (20-x) since they add up to 20. In addition, the 17% solution has 20 gallons. Putting this into an equation, we get that 10% is 0.1 (by moving the decimal 2 spots to the left) , 0.2=20%, and 0.17=17%. With that information, we can determine that 10%*x+20%*(20-x)=20*0.17 due to that with 20 gallons of the 27% solution, we need a certain amount of solution. For every gallon, we add 0.17 of the solution, so we have 20*0.17. Similarly, we want that total amount to be represented by the amount of 20% + the amount of 10%.
0.1x+0.2(20-x)=0.1x+4-0.2x=-0.1x+4 using the distributive property
-0.1x+4=20*0.17=3.4. Subtract 4 from both sides to get -0.1x=-0.6, and multiply both sides by -10 (to separate x) to get x=6. Therefore, the amount of 10% solution is 6 gallons and the amount of 20% solution is 20-5=14 gallons
