Answer:

x = 15 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixture is made with two types of solutions.

Solution A - 45 ounces of 10% saline solution

Solution B - x ounces of 70% saline solution

Resulting mixture - (x + 45) ounces of 25% saline solution

To get the value of x, equation will be,

(45 × 0.10) + (x × 0.70) = (x + 45) × 0.25

4.5 + 0.70x = 0.25x + 11.25

0.25x - 0.70x  = 4.5 - 11.25

-0.45x = -6.75

x = \frac{6.75}{0.45}

x = 15 ounces

Gonna do a little subbing here...

for 40 pgs of express proof reading....3 bucks per pg...c = 3
40(3) - 0.05(40(3)) = T
120 - 0.05(120) = T.....120 - 6 = T.....114 = T
so  express proofreading cost 114

for 40 pgs of basic proof reading....c = 3.95
40(3.95) - 0.05(40(3.95) = T
158 - 0.05(158) = T....158 - 7.9 = T.....150.10
so basic proof reading costs 150.10

for 40 pgs of extended proof reading....c = 5
40(5) - 0.05(40(5) = T
200 - 0.05(200) = T....200 - 10 = 190
so extended proof reading is 190

no need to go further....the extended proof reading is gonna be ur answer...the best quality of editing that keeps it at 190
