I believe the problem asks for the slope. This problem can be done by putting <span>y=x^2e^5x into slope intercept form. However, the issue is that there is the variable "e", which does not match the slope intercept formula, y=mx+b. Long explanation short, the slope is </span>
X = amount of the 18% solution
y = amount of the 40% solution
we know the 18% solution has only 18% of alcohol, the rest is maybe water or something, now, how many liters is 18%? well, 18% of anything is just (18/100) * anything, so, 18% of x is just (18/100) *x or 0.18x, and that's how many liters are there.
likewise, how many liters are there in the 40% solution? well, (40/100) * y, or 0.4y, that many.
we know the mixture has to yield 10 liters at 20% alcohol, how many liters of only alcohol is that? well, (20/100) * 10, or 2 liters.


how much of the 40% solution? well y = 10 - x
<span>If 10% of x is 20,
----------
</span><span>then x = 200.</span><span>what is 23% of x?
----------
23% = (23/100)*200 = 46</span>
Answer:
1.983(10⁴)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we need to have ones and decimals as proper scientific notation, we have 1.983. Since we need the value of 19830, we need to move the decimal place 4 places to the right, so our exponent is 4.
*I double checked my work this time.
60%
Working
£5:100%
£1:20%
£8:160%
So percentage increase is 60%
