Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the number is closer to 16, it can be rounded off to that. 15 31/40 is the same as 15.78. When the decimal is over .50 it is rounded up to the next whole number, but when it is under .50 it si rounded down to the nearest whole number. ex. since this one is over the .50, it's rounded up, but if it were 15.36 then it would be rounded down to 15. hope this helps :D

How much of a spice that is 30% salt should be added to 175 ounces of a spice that is 65% salt in order to make a spice that is

klasskru [66]

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount&concentration&
\begin{array}{llll}
concentrated\\
amount
\end{array}\\
&-----&-------&-------\\
\textit{30\% spice}&x&0.30&0.30x\\
\textit{65\% spice}&175&0.65&(175)(0.65)\\
-----&-----&-------&-------\\
mixture&x+175&0.50&(x+175)(0.50)
\end{array}$

so.. as you can see, we use the decimal notation for the percentages... 65% is just 65/100 and 50% is just 50/100 and so on

so.. whatever the salted amounts are, we know they'll add up to (x+175)(0.50)

thus (0.30x) + (175)(0.65) = (x+175)(0.50)

solve for "x"

A total of $5000 is invested: part at 9% and the remainder at 14%. How much is invested at each rate if the annual interest is $

IceJOKER [234]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$200 at 14%
$4800 at 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 14%. Then 5000-x is the amount invested at 9%. The interest earned is ...

(14%)x +(9%)(5000 -x) = 460

0.05x +450 = 460 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

0.05x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 450

x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.05

5000-x = 5000-200 = 4800

$200 was invested at 14%; $4800 was invested at 9%.
