My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution)
in simple terms: %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x) simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13 divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.
Answer:
4:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 4 to 5 students.
The coupon rate of the bond is 4%
coupon=4/100×2000
coupon=$80
Time taken to maturity for the bond is 5 years
number of terms=2 terms
thus total amount of interest will be:
2×5×80
=$800
Answer:
About 39 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
You would do 200/5.15 and get 38.83....
If you round then you get 39.
