Answer:

No, Brandon is not correct in making that statement

Step-by-step explanation:

No, Brandon is not correct in making that statement. The absolute value of a number is the total distance between that number and 0. Brandon most likely states this because the absolute value of a negative number such as -5 would actually be the opposite, which is 5. This is not true for the absolute value of a positive such as 5, which instead is actually just 5. Meaning that the absolute value of a positive integer is the same value and NOT the opposite.

If 1800ml of a juice drink is 15% grape juice, how much grape juice should be added to make a drink that is 20% grape juice?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

  112.5 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of grape juice to add. Then the total amount of grape juice in the mix is ...

  0.15(1800) +x = 0.20(1800+x)

  270 +x = 360 + 0.2x . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.8x = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 270+0.2x

  x = 90/0.8 = 112.5 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

112 mL of grape juice should be added to make a mix that is 20% grape juice.
