Pete starts with 4 quarts of 20% juice, which contains
0.20 • (4 quarts) = 0.8 quarts
of juice.
If he mixes this with <em>x</em> quarts of 60% juice, which contains
0.60 • (<em>x</em> quarts) = 0.6<em>x</em> quarts
of juice, then he would end up with a mixture with a volume of (<em>x</em> + 4) quarts that contains (0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em>) quarts of juice. The mix has to have a concentration of 50% juice, which means
(0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em>) / (<em>x</em> + 4) = 0.50
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em> = 0.50 (<em>x</em> + 4)
0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em> = 0.5<em>x</em> + 2
0.1<em>x</em> = 1.2
<em>x</em> = 12
So Pete needs 12 quarts of the 60% juice.

12(41)
= 492
Yes. I just did this question on a test actually
Answer:
The manager can select a team in 61425 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
The order in which the cashiers and the kitchen crews are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
In how many ways can the manager select a team?
2 cashiers from a set of 10.
4 kitchen crews from a set of 15. So
