Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{Solution A: 32 ounces}}

\huge\boxed{\text{Solution B: 8 ounces}}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, let's first understand what the question is asking.

If we combine Solution A (with 35% salt) and Solution B (with 85% salt), our goal is to create a 40 ounce mixture with 45% salt.

Let's model an equation for this, assuming that a is the amount of ounces of Solution A and b is the amount of ounces of Solution B.

0.35a+0.85b= 40 \cdot 0.45

<em>Why?</em> Since 35% of a number is the same as multiplying it by 0.35, we can multiple the total number of ounces by the decimal to find how many ounces of it will contain salt.

We also know that we need 40 ounces of this mixture. Therefore, adding together Solution A and B must get 40:

a+b=40

We can now solve this systems of equations.

  • 0.35a+0.85b=18  
  • 0.35a+0.85b=18 \\a+b=40
  • 0.35a+0.85b=18 \\-0.35a - 0.35b=-14  
  • 0.5b=4
  • b=8

Now that we know Solution B needs 8 ounces of mixture, we can substitute it into an equation to solve for a.

  • a+b=40
  • a+8=40
  • a=40-8
  • a=32

Therefore, we need 32 ounces of Solution A and 8 ounces of Solution B.

Hope this helped!

A credit card company charges a late fee of 10% on all late payments. last month, jamal was charged a late fee. the total amount
sladkih [1.3K]

$247.5 was the original amount on the credit card

Lets simplify the problem,

Total amount after late fee = $275

Late fee deduction = 10%

Original amount = 275 - 10% of 275

= 275 - 27.5

= $247.5

So $247.5 was the original amount on the credit card before the late fee.

Percentage:

In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100. It is often denoted by the symbol "%" or simply as "percent" or "pct." For example, 35% is equivalent to the decimal 0.35, or the fraction.

She needs 1/6 almonds , 1/3 walnuts and 1/2 of raisins as a fraction of total trail mix.
So she spends $2.5 on almonds. $5 on walnuts and $10 on raisins (total $15)

so that is 2.5/12 =  0.208  pounds almonds
5 / 10.5 =  0.476 pound walnuts
10/4 =  2.5 pounds raisins

so total wieght of the trail mix is 3.19 pounds
