Answer:
293 packs is the maximum the store can sell.
Step-by-step explanation:
Determine the number of packs that can be made with 4 pairs of socks.
(1173 pairs)/(4 pairs/pack) = 293.25 packs
We can't sell 0.25 pack (1 pair of socks), so drop that fraction to yield 293 full packs. Donate the spare pair, so to speak, to the local IRS agent.
5/20 for Jerome and 8/20 for Mario. combined 13/20
La respuesta es B a+10b+6c=62
We know that
The mixture in Tank A is 5/(5+10) = 1/3 pure alcohol.
The mixture in Tank B is 3/(3+12) = 1/5 pure alcohol.
We want to combine these to make a mixture that is 25% = 1/4 pure alcohol.
Let
x------------------> the volume in gallons of solution taken from Tank A.
y------------------>the volume in gallons of solution taken from Tank B
Then
the volume taken from Tank B will be y=(8 -x)
remember that we are making a total of 8 gallons of solutions.
The alcohol content of the mixture is(1/3)x +(1/5)(8 -x) = (1/4)*85x + 3(8 -x) = 30 ----------> 5x+24-3x=30----------> 5x-3x=30-24
2x = 6 ----------------> x=3
y=8-x--------> y=8-3-----> y=5
the answer is
3 gallons should be taken from Tank A;
5 gallons should be taken from Tank B
