I hope I helped! :) :) :)
a = amount (in oz) of solution A
b = amount of solution B
The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so
a + b = 110
Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So
0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5
Solve for a and b:
b = 110 - a
0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5
0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5
0.25 a = 16.5
a = 66 ==> b = 44
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
$19.50
-$15.50=
$4.00
1slice of pizza and 1soda is $4
so 2slices of pizza and 2 sodas is $8
$15.50-$8=$7.50
Now you have 3 slices of pizza left
$7.50/3slices=$2.50
1slice of pizza is $2.50
Answer is 3.667
or in fraction form 3 and 2/3
