The volume of the 12% salt solution to be added is; 2.5 gallons.

<h3>Ratio and Proportion of Volume</h3>

Let the volume of 12% required be x and the new volume of the mixture be (x+5).

On this note, it follows that;

  • 12x + 15(5) = 14(5+x)

  • 12x + 75 = 70 + 14x.

Hence, -2x = -5

Divide both side by -2;

  • x = -5/-2

x = 2.5 gallons.

Answer:

Options (C) and (E).

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation is a rigid transformation in which size and shape of the figure and image remains the same.

That means angles and sides of the triangles given in the figure will remain same after the transformations given.

Since, the given triangle has been rotated about a point Z, each rotation will share the vertex Z.

And every figure is the transformed form of the given triangle, all four triangles will be congruent.

Options (C) and (E) are the correct options.
