The cost of 1 battery is 0.43
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of 1 battery be x
We are given that the torch costs 11 times as much as the battery
Cost of torch = 11x
Total cost of 1 battery and torch = 11x+x=12x
Tim pays $10
He receives change of $4.84
Total cost of 1 torch and battery = 10 - 4.84 =$5.16
So,
Hence the cost of 1 battery is 0.43
Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
(420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution
Theresa should mix ...
105 liters of 30% solution
315 liters of 50% solution
