Answer:
Let y represents the ounces of first spice.
From the given statements, we draw a table as shown below:
ounces of spice Percentage ounces of salt
First spice y 3% 0.03x
Second spice 175 6% 175(0.06)
Final mixture y + 175 5% (x+15)(0.05)
Now, to solve for y
we have;
Final spice = First spice + second spice
Subtract 10.5 on both sides we have;
Simplify:
Subtract 0.05y on both sides
Simplify:
Divide both sides by -0.02, we get;
Therefore, 87.5 ounces of spices that is 3% salt should be added to 175 ounces of a spice that is 6% salt in order to make a spice that is 5% salt
Choice A is the answer which is the point (1,-1)
=========================================
How I got this answer:
Plug each point into the inequality. If you get a true statement after simplifying, then that point is in the solution set and therefore a solution. Otherwise, it's not a solution.
-------------
checking choice A
plug in (x,y) = (1,-1)
This is true because -3 is equal to itself. So this is the answer.
-------------
checking choice B
plug in (x,y) = (2,4)
This is false because 0 is not to the left of -3, nor is 0 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
-------------
checking choice C
plug in (x,y) = (-2,3)
This is false because 7 is not to the left of -3, nor is 7 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
-------------
checking choice D
plug in (x,y) = (3,4)
This is false because -2 is not to the left of -3, nor is -2 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
