Question

10 points of 15% salt saluting are mixed with 15 points of 10% salt. What is the concentration of saluting?+

Answer 1

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much salt is in each solution by multiplying the total amount by the percent of salt:

10(0.15)

= 1.5

15(0.1)

= 1.5

Added together, there are 3 pints of salt. There is a total of 25 pints, since 10 pints and 15 pints were mixed.

Find the concentration of salt by dividing 3 by 25

3/25

= 0.12

So, the concentration of salt in the solution is 12%
