It is close to 200 because 150 or above would be rounded to 200. Below 150 would be 100
a = amount (in oz) of solution A
b = amount of solution B
The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so
a + b = 110
Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So
0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5
Solve for a and b:
b = 110 - a
0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5
0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5
0.25 a = 16.5
a = 66 ==> b = 44
36% = 36/100 divide both numerator and denominator by 4 gives you 9/25
The sum is the result of adding two or more numbers.
If one number is 7w and another number is 5, then the sum is
7w+5.
Answer: the algebraic expression for the word phrase the sum of 7w and 5 is 7w+5.
4x - 5y = 24
4(6) - 5(0) = 24
24 - 0 = 24
24 = 24 (correct)....so (6,0) is a solution
4(1) - 5(-4) = 24
4 + 20 = 24
24 = 24 (correct)...and (1,-4) is a solution
