The answer is b because if you divide that’s what you get
Pete starts with 4 quarts of 20% juice, which contains
0.20 • (4 quarts) = 0.8 quarts
of juice.
If he mixes this with <em>x</em> quarts of 60% juice, which contains
0.60 • (<em>x</em> quarts) = 0.6<em>x</em> quarts
of juice, then he would end up with a mixture with a volume of (<em>x</em> + 4) quarts that contains (0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em>) quarts of juice. The mix has to have a concentration of 50% juice, which means
(0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em>) / (<em>x</em> + 4) = 0.50
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em> = 0.50 (<em>x</em> + 4)
0.8 + 0.6<em>x</em> = 0.5<em>x</em> + 2
0.1<em>x</em> = 1.2
<em>x</em> = 12
So Pete needs 12 quarts of the 60% juice.
Let's get the data out of the problem:
Nv = 18
Ov = 12
Now, we can apply in this equation that relates the new and the old values:
i = Nv / Ov
i = 18 / 12
i = 1.5
Now, we just consider what has passed from 1, and this is 0.5, converting to percentage it is:
p = 0.5 . 100
p = 50%
The increase was 50%.
Hope it helps.
Answer:
x=14.5
PLEASE MARK BRAINLIST!!
Step-by-step explanation:
2x=29
Divide by 2 on both sides:
x=14.5
It’s the third one divide 6 by w and get 4.5
