Answer:
C. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say M is the original number of men and W is the original number of women.
M / W = 3 / 5
(M+2) / (W+1) = 2 / 3
Let's cross multiply both equations:
5M = 3W
3(M+2) = 2(W+1)
Let's simplify the second equation:
3M + 6 = 2W + 2
3M + 4 = 2W
From the first equation:
M = 3/5 W
Substitute:
3 (3/5 W) + 4 = 2W
9/5 W + 4 = 2W
4 = 1/5 W
W = 20
There were originally 20 women.
Let's check our answer. That would mean that M = 3/5 W = 12.
After 2 men walk in and 1 woman, W = 21 and M = 14, so 14/21 = 2/3. Looks like the answer is correct!
Answer C.
I multiplied $15 by 230% and then added my answer(which was 34.5) because subtracting it wasn't an option and got $49.50
Answer:
Let x be the unknown quantity of 50% silver.
Look at the silver concentrations... This will be 0.5x of actual silver,
Added to 5% silver in 500g or 0.05(500)g of actual silver
Totaling to (500+x)g of 20% silver which will have 0.2(500+x)g of silver
Your equation is:
0.5x + 0.05(500) = 0.2(500+x)
Solve for x to find the grams of 50% silver used
