Sandra needs to make 500 L hand sanitizer with 75% alcoholic solution. He has only two of the alcoholic solutions available, a 6

5% solution and a 90% solution. How many litres of each alcoholic solution should he mix?

If Sandra mixes <em>x</em> L of 65% solution with <em>y</em> L of 90% solution, then the resulting mixture has a total volume of

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 500

litres, and it contains

0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90<em>y</em> = 0.75 (500) = 375

litres of alcohol.

Solve the first equation for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 500 - <em>x</em>

<em />

Substitute this into the second equation and solve for <em>x</em> :

0.65<em>x</em> + 0.90 (500 - <em>x</em>) = 375

0.65<em>x</em> + 450 - 0.90<em>x</em> = 375

75 = 0.25<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 300

Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = 500 - 300

<em>y</em> = 200

So, Sandra should mix 300 L of 65% solution with 200 L of 90% solution.

Suppose xy &gt; 0. Describe the points whose coordinates are solutions to the inequality.
Elan Coil [88]

The solutions fo the inequality are all the points (x, y) that meet these 3 conditions.

  • x ≠ 0
  • y ≠ 0
  • Sign(x) =sign(y)

<h3>Which points are solutions of the inequality?</h3>

We want to find points of the form (x, y) that are solutions of the inequality:

x*y > 0

Clearly x and y must be different than zero.

So, for example if x = -1, y can be any negative number, for example y= -3

x*y > 0

(-1)*(-3) > 0

3 > 0

This is true.

Now if x  = 1, y must be positive. LEt's take y = 103, then:

x*y > 0

1*103 > 0

103 > 0

Then we have 3 conditions:

  • x ≠ 0
  • y ≠ 0
  • Sign(x) =sign(y)

The solutions fo the inequality are all the points (x, y) that meet these 3 conditions.

What is the sales tax rate?
Allisa [31]
Hello there! We are solving for the tax rate, so let's start off by subtracting both prices. 4.32 - 4.00 is 0.32. That's a 32 cent difference in the price. Now, let's divide that number by the original price to find the percentage. 0.32/4 is 0.08. Multiply that number by 100 and that is 8%. There. The sales tax rate is 8%.

Question
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The value of k is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

2=(k-3)/(5-1)

2=(k-3)/4

2*4=k-3

8=k-3

k=8+3

k=11
