Hi there! Just letting you know that I didn't mean to report your question, I meant to follow it. It will get moderated, and they will see the mistake. My bad!

To answer your question, this would be 10%, because if you divide a pie into ten pieces, and take one piece away (1/10), you have taken 10 percent of the pie.

Hope this helps! And, sorry for the mistake again! :)

Andre45 [30]
20% also equals 1/5, right?

So in order to find the total number of turtle nests, just find 5/5, or multiply 15 by 5.

15 x 5 = 75

There were 75 total nests

How many kilograms of a 5% salt solution and how many kilograms of a 15% salt solution must be mixed together to make 45kg of an
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

31.5 kilograms of a 5% salt solution and 13.5 kilograms of a 15% salt solution must be mixed together to make 45kg of an 8% salt solution .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of kilograms of a 5% salt solution used be x .

Let us assume that the number of kilograms of a 15% salt solution used be y .

As given

A 5% salt solution and 15% salt solution must be mixed together to make 45kg of an 8% salt solution .

Equation becomes

x + y = 45

5% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{5}{100}

= 0.05

15% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

8% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{8}{100}

= 0.08

Thus

Concentration of 5% salt solution × Number of kilograms of 5% salt solution used + Concentration of 15% salt solution × Number of kilograms of  15% solution used = Concentration of 8% salt solution × Number of kilograms of 8% salt solution

Thus

0.05x + 0.15y = 0.08 × 45

Simplify the above

\frac{5x}{100} + \frac{15y}{100} = \frac{8\times 45}{100}

5x + 15y = 360

Thus two equations becomes

x + y = 45

5x + 15y = 360

Multiply x + y = 45 by 5 and subtracted from 5x + 15y = 360 .

5x - 5x + 15y - 5y = 360 - 225

10y = 135

y = \frac{135}{10}

y = 13.5 kilograms

Put value of y in the equation

x + 13.5 = 45

x = 45 - 13.5

x = 31.5 kilograms

Therefore the 31.5 kilograms of a 5% salt solution and 13.5 kilograms of a 15% salt solution must be mixed together to make 45kg of an 8% salt solution .

Your sister is getting married this summer and she has asked you to help her select a D.J.
ioda
So Dave charges 150 at first and then 10.50 per each hour, so if your sister has the party going for say "h" hours, then his total charges will then be 150 + 10.5h.

now, Marvin's Mobile Music charges 135 at first, but then is more expensive per hour is 15 bucks per each hour, so if she has a party for "h" hours, then his total charges are 135 + 15h.

now, let's check when they're both equal, at how many hours will they cost your sister the same amount.

\bf 150+10.50h=135+15h\implies 150-135=15h-10.5h
\\\\\\
15=4.5h\implies 15=4\frac{1}{2}h\implies 15=\cfrac{9}{2}h\implies \cfrac{15}{\frac{9}{2}}=h\implies \cfrac{\frac{15}{1}}{\frac{9}{2}}=h
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{9}=h\implies \cfrac{30}{9}=h\implies \cfrac{10}{3}=h\implies 3\frac{1}{3}=h

so, 3 and a third of a hour, or 3 hours and 20 minutes, they both will cost your sister the same amount, so it wouldn't matter who's hired if the party is only 3 hours and 20 minutes long.

however, after that, the one with higher hourly rate, Marvin's, gets more expensive, and she's better off hiring the one with cheaper hourly rate.

now, you can just get some mp3s and some loud speakers and nevermind the  DJs and you do it, or she can do it, I have the macarena song if you need that one.
