Answer:

12.5 lb of Brand A and 37.5 lb of Brand B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = weight of Brand A.

Let b = weight of Brand B.

To make 50 lb of bird seed, we get the equation:

a + b = 50

Now we deal with the amount of sunflower seed in each Brand and in the final mixture.

a amount of Brand A has 0.2a amount of sunflower seed.

b amount of Brand B has 0.6b amount of sunflower seed.

50 lb of the mixture has 0.5 × 50 lb = 25 lb of sunflower seed.

That gives us the second equation.

0.2a + 0.6b = 25

We have a system of equations:

a + b = 50

0.2a + 0.6b = 25

Solve the first equation for a and substitute in the second equation.

a = 50 - b

0.2(50 - b) + 0.6b = 25

10 - 0.2b + 0.6b = 25

0.4b + 10 = 25

0.4b = 15

b = 37.5

Now substitute 37.5 for b in the first original equation and solve for a.

a + 37.5 = 50

a = 12.5

12.5 lb of Brand A and 37.5 lb of Brand B

Out of 75,000 voters in a constituency 65%
serious [3.7K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

\large\boxed{35\%\,\text{did not vote;}\,48,750\,\text{voted}}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In this question, we're trying to find the amount of people that did not vote and the percentage of people that didn't vote.

We know that 65% of people voted and percents are out of 100%.

We would subtract 65 form 100 to get out percentage that didn't vote.

100-65=35

35% of people didn't vote.

Now, we can solve the next question.

A total of 75,000 people voted. What we're going to have to do is find how much of 75,000 is 65%.

We would do this by multiplying 75,000 by 0.65

75,000*0.65=48,750

This means that 48,750 people voted.

<h3>I hope this helped you out.</h3><h3>Good luck on your academics.</h3><h3>Have a fantastic day!</h3>

Stephanie surveyed the students in her class to find out their favorite color. her results are in the table. what percent of Ste
wariber [46]
Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the amount of classmates out of the entire class who did not choose blue as their favorite color and then convert it into a percentage. 

First, let's find the fraction:

Since there are 25 total people in her class, since

6 + 9 + 10 = 25

25 is the denominator of the fraction;

Since there are 16 people who did not choose blue,

6 + 10 = 16

16 is the numerator of the fraction. 

So, our fraction is 16/25. 

Now, we need to convert it into a percentage. To do this, we need to make the denominator 100 by multiplying it by a certain number, and then multiplying the numerator by that same number so the fraction stays equal:

16/25 
= 16*4/25*4
= 64/100
= 64%

So, the answer is 64% of Stephanie's classmates.

Hope this helps!
