15% of 20 gal = 0.15 * 20 gal = 3 gal, so the solution contains 3 gal of salt.
If we add <em>x</em> gal of water to the solution, we end up with (20 + <em>x</em>) gal of solution. We want the new mixture to have a concentration of 10%, or
10% of (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 0.1 * (20 + <em>x</em>) gal = 2 + 0.1<em>x</em> gal
of salt.
The amount of salt in the tank hasn't changed. Solve for <em>x </em>:
2 + 0.1<em>x</em> = 3
0.1<em>x</em> = 1
<em>x</em> = 10 gal
This is middle school work woah
6.0 x 10^-5 I think is the answer
D is equivalent because brackets don’t change anything here
Answer:
The better deal is 10 cans of soda for $5.50
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6 cans of soda for $3.60 means each can of soda is worth .60 cents
- 4 cans of soda for $2.36 means each can of soda is worth .59 cents
- 10 cans of soda for $5.50 means each can of soda is worth .55 cents
Therefore, 10 cans of soda for $5.50 is the best deal because you are getting the most cans of soda for the cheapest amount of money.
Hope this helped!
