Step-by-step explanation:
No, 1% of 40 is the same as 40% of 1. Which is 0.025% You cant have 0.025% of a learner or a human so this isn't possible.
Let x represent the amount to be added. The total amount of tin will be
15%·20 + 10%·x = 12%·(20+x)
(15%-12%)·20 = (12%-10%)·x
3%·20/2% = x
30 = x
30 pounds of 10% tin must be added to get a 12% mixture.
Answer:
he is currently 34
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 6 = 5(x-26)
x + 6 = 5x - 130
+130 +130
x + 136 = 5x
-x -x
136 = 4x
/4 /4
x = 34
You can check your work as well:
34 + 6 = 40
34 - 26 = 8
8 x 5 = 40
So you would do .30 multiply that by 18.99 and your answer would be 5.69
