Answer:

  3. $6000 at 8%; $5000 at 5%

  4. 66 2/3 gallons of 9%; 133 1/3 gallons of 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

For many mixture problems, it works well to let a variable represent the amount of the largest contributor used in the mix.

3. Let x represent the amount invested at 8%. Then the total interest is ...

  8%x +5%(11000-x) = 730

  3%x = 730 -550

  x = 180/0.03 = 6000

$6000 was invested at 8%; $5000 was invested at 5%.

__

4. Let x represent the number of gallons of 9% content. Then the alcohol content of the mix is ...

  9%x +6%(200 -x) = 7%(200)

  3%x = 1%(200) . . . . . subtract 6%(200)

  x = 200/3 = 66 2/3 . . . . . divide by 3%

  200 -x = 133 1/3

66 2/3 gallons of 9% wine and 133 1/3 gallons of 6% wine should be used.

Which part is which from the circle
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
<h3>Check out the diagram below for the proper labeling</h3>

The radius goes from the center to the edge of the circle.

The diameter is twice as long as the radius; it is a segment going through the center with both endpoints on the circle

The circumference is the distance around the circle. Think of it as the perimeter of the circle.
