Answer:

x = amount of pure acid to be added = 6.67ml

Step-by-step explanation:

George wishes to increase the percent of acid in 50ml of a 15% acid solution in water to 25% acid, how much pure acid must you add?

let

x = amount of pure acid to be added

15% of 50 + x = 25% of 50 + x

(0.15 * 50) + x = 0.25(50 + x)

7.5 + x = 12.5 + 0.25x

Collect like terms

x - 0.25x = 12.5 - 7.5

0.75x = 5

x = 5/0.75

x = 6.6666666666666

Approximately,

x = 6.67

x = amount of pure acid to be added = 6.67ml

a football match,the ratio of children to adults is 2:7.there are 2700 people int he crowd. each adult ticket is £8 each child t
marusya05 [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

since the ratio of children to adult is 2:7,

2+7 = 9

number of children would be

(2 × 2700)/9 = 600 children in the crowd

number of adults would be

(7 × 2700)/9 = 2100 adults in the crowd

So, if a ticket costs £8 per adults, total cash made from adult

= 8 × 2100 = £16800

if a ticket costs £(8 - 3) per children, total cash made from children

= 5 × 600 = £3000

total money made = £(16800 + 3000)

= £19800

4/3 is the ratio between fruit punch and orange juice. For every 3 cups of orange juice she makes, she can make 4 fruit punches. An example:
If you replace x (orange juice) with 2, that'd mean there'd be 6 cups of orange juice because you'd multiply 3 and 2. Same goes to 4. 4 multiplied by 2 is 8, which means if she makes 6 cups of orange juice, she can make 8 cups of fruit punch.
