Answer:

Number of ml of 40% sugar = x = 1000mL

Number of ml of 85% sugar used = y = 800mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the

Number of ml of 40% sugar = x

Number of ml of 85% sugar used = y

From the above question, our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 1800mL ....... Equation 1

x = 1800 - y

40% × x + 85% × y = 60% × 1800mL

0.4x + 0.85y = 1080.... Equation 2

We substitute 1800 - y for x in Equation 2

0.4(1800 - y) + 0.85y = 1080

720 - 0.4y + 0.85y = 1080

- 0.4y + 0.85y = 1080 - 720

0.45y = 360

y = 360/0.45

y = 800mL

Solving for x

x = 1800 - y

x = 1800 - 800

x = 1000mL

Therefore,

Number of ml of 40% sugar = x = 1000mL

Number of ml of 85% sugar used = y = 800mL

Find the surface area of the prism below. See attachment, 58 cm is incorrect.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Surface area of the given figure = 48 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is nothing area of all the sides.

We can find the area of each figure add them together.

There are two triangles with the same measures.

One rectangle with measure of 4 by 3.

Another rectangle with the measure of 5 by 3.

One square with the measure of 3.

Surface area = Area of two triangles + rectangle 1 + rectangle 2 + square

Formulas:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 base* height

Area of the rectangle = length * width

Area of the square = side x side

Applying the formula, we get

=2[1/2 (3*4)] + 4*3 + 5*3 + 3^2

= 12 + 12 + 15 + 9

Surface area of the given figure = 48 cm^2

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
