13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Total mass of acid required= 85 ounces
Let the mass of 72% acid be 'a'
Let the mass of 25% acid be 'b'
a + b = 85
b = 85-a
85(40/100) = a(72/100) + b(25/100)
85(2/5) = a(72/100) +(85- a) (25/100)
34 = (72a/100) + (2125/100) - (25a/100)
34 - (2125/100) = (72a + 25a) /100
(3400-2125)/100 = 97a /100
97a = 1275
a = 13.15 ounces
b = 85 - 13.14
b = 71.85 ounces
13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed
The answer is: [C]: " f(x) = 0.7(5)ˣ " .

Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
From all the answer choices given;
Answer choice: [C]: " f(x) = 0.7 (5)ˣ " ; is the answer choice with a "positive number"; {which is then multiplied by: [ a "positive whole number" or a "positive number greater than "1"; that is raised to a "positive variable"] .

How I solved this: Further Explanation:
________________________________________________
A positive number multiplied by a {"number less than 1; raised to "x"] would result in increasingly lower values as "x" increases. Same with "raised to "negative x" {refer to "Answer choice [D]" }.
