Answer:
84 ounces of pure gold
Step-by-step explanation:
Jess has 60 ounces of an alloy that is 40% gold. How many ounces of pure gold must be added to this alloy to create a new alloy that is 75% gold?
Pure gold = 100% gold
Let the number of ounces of pure gold = x
Hence, we have the equation
40% × 60 ounces + 100%× x ounces = 75%(60 + x)ounces
= 0.4 × 60 + 1x = 0.75(60 + x)
= 24 + x = 45 + 0.75x
Collect like terms
x - 0.75x = 45 - 24
0.25x = 21
x = 21/0.25
x = 84 ounces
Therefore, we need 84 ounces of pure gold
1/2.
divide everything by 9.

<h3>
Answer: A) 20+10h</h3>
Work Shown:
It grows 2h inches for 4 weeks, so 2h*4 = 2*4h = 8h is the amount it grows for those 4 weeks.
Then it grows h inches per week, for 2 more weeks, giving h+h = 2h additional inches.
Overall, 8h+2h = 10h is the amount the plant grows.
It starts off at 20 inches so its final height is 20+10h
