Answer:
$54
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we calculate the amount she paid for each pen.
$255/5 = $51
She paid $51 for each pen.
She made a profit of $3 per pen, so she sold each pen for $51 + $3 = $54
Answer: $54
Answer:
- 273 mL of 5%
- 117 mL of 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...
0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)
0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify
q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10
390-q = 273
The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
the numbers are in ratio 7 : 9 = 7x : 9x ( x is a multiplier )
given the sum of the numbers = 112 , then
7x + 9x = 112 , that is
16x = 112 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = 7 , then
9x = 9 × 7 = 63 ← value of larger number
21 hrs. Because if Harry worked one third the hrs thats Aiden worked then 7×3 =21 and 21÷3=7. So 7 is one third of 21.
