Answer:

10.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is calculate the total volume of the solution when mixing them would be:

0.7 + 0.3 = 1

Now, we have that the resulting concentration (x) would be equal to the sum of the multiplications between the volumes and the concentrations to be mixed, as follows:

x * 1 = 0.7 * 0.05 + 0.3 * 0.22

x = 0.035 + 0.066

x = 0.101

That is, the concentration of the resulting mixture would be 10.1% (0.101 * 100)

Since you have to mix all of it together, the whole cocktail is 20+10+15=45.
And the portion that is coconut milk is 15ml. So that means there is 15 out of 45 or 15/45 coconut milk in the cocktail. Then the simpelest form is 1/3.

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30. He wants to mix $5 per pound cashews with the peanuts to get a batch of mixed nut
seraphim [82]

Answer:

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.

Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5

Price of cashew per pound C = $5

Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4

Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.

The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;

xP + (1-x)C = M

Substituting the values;

x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4

2.5x + 5 -5x = 4

2.5x - 5x = 4 -5

-2.5x = -1

x = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Proportion of cashew is;

y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6

For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;

A = 12/x × y

A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds

18 pounds of cashews are needed.
