Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
a)
We know that a 4-sided polygon's angles add up to 360 degrees
so to find x:
360-(69+118+84)=89 degrees
b)
For a 4-sided polygon we also know that the outside angles add up to 360 degree.
so to find p:
360-(100+62+106)=92 degrees
Hope it helps!
