Answer:

<em>Martin saved $75 on the television because of the sale</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's call x=the original price of the television (before discount).

The television had been on sale for 25% off, this means the discount was:

25% of x = \frac{25}{100}.x = 0.25x

The sale price was the original price minus the discount:

x - 0.25x = 0.75x

This is what Martin paid, thus:

0.75x = 225

Dividing by 0.75:

x = 225 / 0.75

x = $300

The original price of the television was $300, and the discount was:

0.25*$300 = $75

Martin saved $75 on the television because of the sale

A chemistry teacher needs to mix a 20% salt solution with an 80% salt solution to make 20 qt of a 40% salt solution. How many qu
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

  • 6 2/3 qt 80%
  • 13 1/3 qt 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.

__

We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...

  0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)

  0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify

  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution

  (20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed

The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.
