Answer:

19% alcohol solution = 65 ounces

37% alcohol solution = 25 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

19% alcohol solution = x

37% alcohol solution = y

x + y = 90 (1)

0.19x + 0.37y = 90*0.24

0.19x + 0.37y = 21.60 (2)

from (1)

x = 90 - y

Substitute into (2)

0.19x + 0.37y = 21.60

0.19(90-y) + 0.37y = 21.60

17.1 - 0.19y + 0.37y = 21.60

- 0.19y + 0.37y = 21.60 - 17.1

0.18y = 4.5

y = 4.5/0.18

y = 25 ounces

x + y = 90 (1)

x + 25 = 90

x = 90 - 25

x = 65 ounces

To keep and show decimals we divide 20 by 100 to show 1.02 then show any 2 placement decimals if none are shown in draft first then you can try in draft 20/1000 to see the difference between the decimals.

Month_1 Value = Month_0 Value * 0.95

Month_2 Value = Month_1 Value * 0.95 = Moth_0 Value * 0.95*0.95 = Month_0 Value * 0.95^2

Month _n Value = Month_0 Value * (0.95)^n

After 2 years ==> n = 24

Month_24 Value = Month_0 Value * (0.95)^24 = 2,000,000 *(0.95)^24 = 583,978.05

Volume of cylinder = pi r² h

Where pi(#) = 3.14

Volume = # × 4² × 5

Volume = # × 16 × 5

Volume = 80# unit²
