Answer:
A= 320 and B = 280
Step-by-step explanation:
- Amount of sodium from first material = 0.15*A
- Amount of sodium from second material = 0.3*B
Now, if we combine the two chemicals to get a new chemical, which is 22% sodium, then the total amount of combined sodium is amount of sodium from both sources
<=> 0.15A + 0.3B = 0.22*(A+B)
<=> 0.07A - 0.08B = 0 (1)
- But we have a second equation, because we know that A + B = 600 (2)
Solve the system of two equations, (1) and (2), we have:
A= 320 and B = 280
B is the answer
Parallel lines it the answer
You need to ensure the denominators are the same. To do this you multiply the denominators together.
1/90 + 2/90
However, this is incorrect, as you need to do the same to the numerators, so for the left hand side you multiplied by 9 and for the right hand side you multiplied by 10, so you must do the same for the numerators.
So it should be:
9/90 + 20/90
You can now add this together, to get:
29/90
This is triple checked so I’m not sure why it says reduce the answer fully as that is as far as it can be reduced.
Hello!
First you to do 65 * 0.20
0.20 is 20% as a decimal
65 * 0.20 = 13
$13 is how much John saves.
To find out how much the skateboard cost you subtract how much he saved by the cost of the skateboard
65 - 13 = 52
The skateboard cost $52
Hope this helps!
