Given that <span>a bag contains 26 tiles marked with the
letters A through Z.
The probability of picking a letter from the name JACK is 4 / 26
The probability of picking a letter from the name BEN is 3 / 26.
Therefore, the probability of picking a letter from
the name JACK or from the name BEN iis given by 4 / 26 + 3 / 26 = 7 / 26 </span>
a = amount (in oz) of solution A
b = amount of solution B
The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so
a + b = 110
Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So
0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5
Solve for a and b:
b = 110 - a
0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5
0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5
0.25 a = 16.5
a = 66 ==> b = 44
Answer:
77
Step-by-step explanation:
For each 2 evergreens there are 7 other trees.
Add 2 +7 = 9.
For each 7 non-evergreens there are 9 trees of all types.
The ratio of non-evergreens to total trees is 7/9.
Let x = number of non-evergreens.
7/9 = x/99
9x = 7 * 99
Divide both sides by 9.
x = 7 * 11
x = 77
