Answer:

Therefore 2 ounces of 11% alcohol solution must be mixed with 4 ounces of 20%alcohol to make a 17%alcohol solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x ounces of 11% alcohol must be mixed with the 2 ounces of 20% alcohol.

The amount of alcohol in 4 ounces solution is=   ounces

                                                             = 0.8 ounces

The amount of alcohol in x ounces  solution is=   ounces

                                                                             = 0.11 x ounces

Total amount of alcohol is = (4+x) ounces

According to the problem,

Therefore 2 ounces of 11% alcohol solution must be mixed with 4 ounces of 20%alcohol to make a 17%alcohol solution

Answer:

6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of ounces of the 15% alcohol solution needed to be mixed with the 4 ounces of 20% alcohol solution to obtain the 17% alcohol solution.

After converting the percentages to their decimal equivalents, set up the necessary equation as follows:

0.15x+0.20(4) = (x+4)(0.17) Simplify and solve for x.

0.15x+0.8 = 0.17x+0.68 Subtract 0.15x from both sides.

0.8 = 0.02x+0.68 Now subtract 0.68 from both sides.

0.12 = 0.02x Finally, divide both sides by 0.02

x = 6

You need to mix 6 ounces of 15% alcohol solution with 4 ounces of 20% alcohol solution to obtain 10 (x+4)ounces of 17% alcohol solution.

Answer:

83

Step-by-step explanation:

82+87+83+77+70+80+88= 567

Then you divide that answer by the number of numbers you added by which is 7.

567/7= 81 so 83 was the missing number
