Naty bought a dress for $24.95 and a skirt for $14.95.

Mathematics

Answer:

Total items = $39.90

Sales tax amount = $3.7905

Total cost = $43.691

The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items

Step-by-step explanation:

Dress = $24.95

Skirt = $14.95

steps the clerk completed.

Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90

Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40

Correct steps:

Total items = dress + skirt

= $24.95 + $14.95

= $39.90

Sales tax = 9.5%

Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total

= 9.5/100 × $39.90

= 0.095 × 39.90

= $3.7905

Total cost = Total + sales tax amount

= $39.90 + $3.7905

= $43.6905

To the nearest hundredth

= $43.691

Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items

Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax

A pharmacist wants to mix a 30% saline solution with a 10% saline solution to get 200 mL of a 12% saline solution. How much of e
Bess [88]

Answer:

30% constituents=20 mL

10% constituents=180 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

x= 30% volume

y=10% volume

For our first equation, we know the total volume is 200 mL and is the sum

x+y=200

y=200-x (1)

For our second equation, we do a mass balance for 200 mL of final solution.

12% w/v = 0.12 g/mL

This means that in 1 mL of solution, we have 0.12 g of NaCl.

For any solution, concentration multiplied by volume will give the mass of NaCl:

Mass in x mL= C*V (g/mL) (mL)

So in 200 mL, we have

0.12*200 (g/mL) (mL)

=24g of NaCl

Cx*Vx + Cy*Vy=24

0.3x+0.1y=24 (2)

Substitute y=200-x into (2)

0.3x+0.1(200-x)=24

0.3x+20-0.1x=24

0.2x=24-20

0.2x=4

Divide both sides by 0.2

0.2x/0.2=4/0.2

x=20

Substitute x=20 into (1)

y=200-x

y=200-20

y=180

30% constituents=20 mL

10% constituents=180 mL
