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.

stepan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a. The amount that is saved at the expiration of the 5 year period is $22,769.20¢

b. The amount of interest is $2,769.20¢

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount that is deposited every year for a period of five years is $4,000 and the rate of the interest is 6.5%. We can always calculate the amount that is saved at the expiration of the five years.

    We will first state the formula for calculating the future value of annuity:-

      Future value of annuity =

                      P[\frac{(1 + r)^{t}-1 }{r}]

   Where P is the amount deposited per year.

   r is the rate of interest

   t is the time or period

 

    and in this case, the actual value of P = $4,000

      rate of interest, r is 6.5% = 0.065

      time, t is 5 years.

   Substituting e, we have:

   Fv of annuity =

                          4,000[\frac{(1 + 0.065)^{5}-1 }{0.065 }]

   = 4,000 × [((1.065)^5)- 1/0.065]

 = 4,000 × [(1.37 - 1)/0.065]

 = 4,000 × (0.37/0.065)

 = 4,000 × 5.6923

 = $22,769.20¢

a. Therefore the amount that is saved at the end of the five (5) years is $22,769.20¢

b. To find the interest, we will calculate the amount of deposit made during the period of five years and subtract the sum from the current amount that is saved ($22,769.29¢).

  Since I deposited 4,000 every year for five years, the total amount of deposit I made at the period =

       4,000 × 5 = $20,000

  The amount of interest is then = $22,769.20¢ - $20,000 = $2,769.20¢

How to solve X + y = 2<br> X - y = 4
SpyIntel [72]
So y+x=2
x-y=4
one way is subsituteion where yousubisutte one of the number for another exg

x-y=4
add y to both sides
x=y+4
subsitute y+4 for x in x+y=2
 y+4+y=2
2y+4=2
subtract 4 from both sides
2y=-2
divide both sides by 2
y=-1
subsiutte
x+y=2
x-1=2
x=3




or elimination

x+y=2
x-y=4
add the two equations and cancel the y terms

x+x+y-y=2+4
2x=6
divide both sides by 2
x==3
subsitute
x+y=2
3+y=2
y=-1


so x=3
y=-1

Which of the following (-1,8) and (5,-2) are the distance of the line segment
olganol [36]

The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have the points (-1, 8) and (5, -2). Substitute:

d=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(-2-8)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+(-10)^2}=\sqrt{36+100}=\sqrt{136}\\\\=\sqrt{4\cdot34}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{34}=\boxed{2\sqrt{34}}
