Answer:

  • 238 gallons 7%
  • 119 gallons 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the number of gallons of high butterfat content milk. Then 357-h will be the number of gallons of 1% milk. The total amount of butterfat in the mix is ...

  0.07h +0.01(357 -h) = 0.05(357)

  0.06h = 14.28 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3.57, collect terms

  h = 238 . . . . . . . . . .  divide by 0.06

  357-h = 357 -238 = 119

238 gallons of 7% and 119 gallons of 1% are needed.

The population of a town is 12,000, and it grows at a rate of 5% per year. Write an exponential function in the form <img src="h
Ksivusya [100]

Answer: Exponential function: y=12000(1.05)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function: y=ab^x , a = initial value , x= time,  b= growth factor , b= 1+r , where r=rate of growth.

Given: Initial population = a= 12,000,

rate of growth = r= 5% = 0.05

Then, b=  1+r= 1+ 0.05 = 1.05

Substitute value of a and b in (i), we get

y=12000(1.05)^x

Hence, The required exponential function: y=12000(1.05)^x, where x= time.
