Answer:
The required volume is 5 ml.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : In tests for intoxication, blood alcohol levels are expressed as percentages by volume. A blood alcohol level of 0.080% by volume means 0.080 mL of ethanol per 100 mL of blood and is considered proof of intoxication. If a person's total blood volume is 5.0 L.
To find : What volume of alcohol in the blood gives a blood alcohol level of 0.100 % by volume?
Solution :
According to question we use the formula,

The percentage of a blood alcohol level is 0.100%
The total volume of the blood is V=5L=5000 ml.
Substitute the value in the formula,




Therefore, the required volume is 5 ml.
Lets plug in the answer choices and see which one works
A. x = -6
| -6 | < 3
6 < 3
False, so A is not the answer
B. x = -5
| -5 | < 3
5 < 3
False, so B isn't the answer
C. x = -1
| -1 | < 3
1 < 3
True, so C is the answer.
But lets just check D to make sure C is the answer.
D. x = 2
| 2 | < 3
2 < 3
False, so D isn't the answer either.
C is your answer :)
