Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x = the amount of 5% solution and y = the amount of pure alcohol, we can set up that

.05x+y is the amount of alcohol in our resulting mixture, and x+y is the total amount in our resulting mixture (which we know is 380)

so we also know that:

(.05x+y)/380 = .6

If we simplify this we come up with:

.05x+y=228

and we know x+y=380

If we solve this as a system of equations, we will find that:

x=160 ml

y=220 ml

a store marks up the merchandise it sells by 40%. If the regular price of the item WAS $25 how much is the store selling it for.
devlian [24]
So if the regular price of an item is 25 and the store is marking it up by 40%, then we have to multiply 25 by .4 to find out what 40% of 25 dollars is. 40% of 25 is 10 dollars. So now you just do 25 + 10 and you get 35. Answer: $35
