Answer:
- 273 mL of 5%
- 117 mL of 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...
0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)
0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify
q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10
390-q = 273
The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.

Answer:
500 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the total number of grams of the sample is x. We know that 30% of x is salt and we also know this quantity is 150 grams. So, we can write this as:
30% * x = 150
Remember that % is simply "out of 100", so 30% = 30/100 = 0.30. Then:
0.30 * x = 150
Divide both sides by 0.30:
x = 500 grams
Hope this helps!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
A is correct because if the minimum is 29,000 feet, x (the airplane altitutude) must be greater than or equal to 29,000 ft. Since the maximum is 41,000 feet, x must be less than or equal to that number.
