A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles
b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4
c. a + j = 28
a = j + 4
d. (j + 4) + j = 28
2j + 4 = 28
2j = 28 - 4
2j = 24
j = 24/2
j = 12
a = j + 4
a = 12 + 4
a = 16
e. check..
a + j = 28
16 + 12 = 28
28 = 28 (correct)
solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
james' miles (j) = 12
The answers are: 4.5 g and 56.25 g respectively.
Since the first type of measurement in this question is weight or mass, I'll suppose that the percentage concentration is % mass/mass. For that type of concentration measurement, just multiply the percentage by the total mass to get the mass of the wanted material.
So 150 g * 3% = 150 g * 0.03 = 4.5g
For the 8% solution with the same amount of dry substance, use the ratio of percentages, multiplied by the mass of the first solution to get the wanted amount of new solution:
3/8 * 150 g = 56.35 g
