Answer:

120 liters of the 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to  get a 15% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the quantity of 10% solution

Given that we need determine many liters of a 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to  get a 15% solution.

As

10% of x = 0.1x

60 liters of a 25%  = 60 × 0.25

Thus,

The equation becomes

0.1x+60\times \:0.25=0.15\left(x+60\right)

Multiply both sides by 100  

0.1x\times \:100+15\times \:100=0.15\left(x+60\right)\times \:100  

10x+1500=15\left(x+60\right)

10x+1500=15x+900

Subtract 1500 from both sides

10x+1500-1500=15x+900-1500

Simplify

10x=15x-600

Subtract 15x from both sides

10x-15x=15x-600-15x

Simplify

-5x=-600

Divide both sides by -5

\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-600}{-5}

Simplify

x=120

Therefore,

  • 120 liters of the 10% solution should be mixed with 60 liters of a 25% solution to  get a 15% solution.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is the number of women with this mutation divided by the size of the sample.

Of the 173, they found that 29 had BRCA1 mutations.

29/173 = 0.168

The point estimate for the proportion of women with BRCA1 mutation is 0.168
