Question

You create a recipe for slime by making some 20% pure slime and some 80% pure to create 100 gallons of a 65% slime mixture. How man gallons of the 20% mixture are needed

Answer 1

About 25 gallons of 20% mixture are needed to make the 80% mixture.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of gallons of 20% mixture needed, hence:

(20% of x) + (80% of y) = 65% of 100

0.2x + 0.8y = 65   (1)

Also:

x + y = 100    (2)

From both equations:

x = 25, y = 75

About 25 gallons of 20% mixture are needed to make the 80% mixture.
