My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution)
in simple terms: %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x) simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13 divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.
Answer: I think its 81 but i'm not that sure.

Answer:
$10.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a system of equations, so 3c + 2m = 7 and 2c + 4m = 8, where c = the cost of coffees, and m = cost of muffins
To solve multiply the first equation by -2(3c + 2m=7) so you get -6c -4m = -14 now add the two equations
-6c - 4m = -14
2c + 4m = 8 notice that -6c + 2c = -4c and -4m + 4m cancels, then -14+8=-6
so we have -4c = -6 so c = $1.50
To solve for m, substitute c = 1.50 so 3(1.50) + 2m = 7, so solve for m so
4.5 + 2m = 7, 2m = 2.5, so m = $1.25
So now solve the final problem 6(1.50) + 1(1.25) = $10.25

Answer:
2:1
Step-by-step explanation:
The USA has 46 gold medals.
Russia has 24 gold medals.
Your ratio is 46:24.
Simplifying this, you get about 2:1, and that is your answer.
