I guess the chef is making the mixture for the sheriff... Let <em>x</em> be the amount of dressing with 5% vinegar that is required, and <em>y</em> the amount of 15% vinegar dressing (both amounts in mL).
The sheriff wants 390 mL of the mixed dressing, so that
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 390
<em>x</em> mL of the 5% dressing contains 0.05<em>x</em> mL of vinegar, while <em>y</em> mL of the 15% dressing contains 0.15<em>y</em> mL of vinegar. The resulting mixture should have a concentration of 9% vinegar, so that it contains 0.09 (390 mL) = 35.1 mL of vinegar. This means
0.05<em>x</em> + 0.15<em>y</em> = 35.1
Solve for <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = 390 - <em>x</em>
0.05<em>x</em> + 0.15 (390 - <em>x</em>) = 35.1
0.05<em>x</em> + 58.5 - 0.15<em>x</em> = 35.1
23.4 = 0.10<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 234
<em>y</em> = 156
Answer:
-1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
change divide sign to multiply by reciprocating
<span>The total number (n) = 28. This includes the number of cats (c) and the number of dogs (d), which is three times the number of cats. Therefore n = c + d and 28 = c + 3c. 28 = 4c. C = 28/4. C = 7. Kim trained 7 cats.</span>
Answer:
$44
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = $80
Discount on sale = 50%
Discounted price = (1 - 50%) * original price
Discounted price = 0.5 * $80 = $40
Sales tax = 10%
Sales tax amount = 0.1 * $40 = $4
Total cost = discounted price + sales tax amount
Total cost = $40 + $4 = $44
Diana's age=21 years
Carmen's age=x years
Andrew's age=2x years
21+x+2x=45
21+3x=45
3x=45-21
3x=24
x=24/3
x=8
2x8=16
Carmen is 8 years old and Andrew is 16 years old. Hoped that helps:)
