Answer:
- 273 mL of 5%
- 117 mL of 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...
0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)
0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify
q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10
390-q = 273
The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.
Given parameters:
Cost price of the article = Nu.28.30
Selling price of the article = Nu.29.30
Unknown:
Gain percentage = ?
The gain percentage is the same as the percentage profit on a trade.
The formula is given as:
Gain percentage = 
Profit = Selling price - Cost price
= Nu.29.30 - Nu.28.30
= Nu. 1
Now input the parameters and solve;
Gain percentage = 
= 3.5%
The gain percent is 3.5%
Answer:
x = 4; y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
y=2x
y=x+4
2x = x + 4
x = 4
y = 2x = 2(4)
y = 8
Solution: x = 4; y = 8
