An 18% alcohol solution is mixed with a 45% alcohol solution to produce 12 ounces of a 36% alcohol solution. How many ounces of the 18% solution and the 45% solution must be used?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The ounces of the 18% solution is 4 and the ounces of the 45% solution is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> ounces of the 18% solution

y ---> ounces of the 45% solution

we know that

The number of ounces of the 18% solution plus the number of ounces of the 45% solution must be equal to 12 ounces

so

x+y=12 ----> equation A

The number of ounces of the 18% solution multiplied by 0.18 (percentage in decimal form) plus the number of  ounces of the 45% solution  multiplied by 0.45 (percentage in decimal form), must be equal to 12 ounces multiplied by 0.36 (percentage in decimal form)

so

0.18x+0.45y=0.36(12)

0.18x+0.45y=4.32 -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (4,8)

see the attached figure

therefore

The ounces of the 18% solution is 4 and the ounces of the 45% solution is 8

76 is 80% of what number?

Answers

76 is 80% of 95 and I'll even explain.
80/100 = 76/x from this point you cross multiply which gives you 80x = 76(100) you multiply 76 by 100 and get 7600 so then the equation look like this 80x = 7600 then divide by 80 on both sides and get the answer of x = 95 which is basically your answer I hope this helps :)

80 percent of the number 95 is 76.

We have,

Let the number = M

80%  can be written as.

= 80/100

= 0.8

Now,

0.8 x M = 76

Solve for M.

0.8 x M = 76

M = 76/0.8

M = 760/8

M = 95

Thus,

80 percent of the number 95 is 76.

How do you divide 33 by 50

Answers

Long division works from left to right. Since 50 is a 2-digit number, it will not go into 3, the first digit of 33, and so successive digits are added until a number greater than 50 is found. In this case 2 digits are added to make 33undefined. Note the other digits in the original number have been turned grey to emphasise this and grey zeroes have been placed above to show where division was not possible with fewer digits.
The closest we can get to 33undefined without exceeding it is 0 which is 0 × 50. These values have been added to the division, highlighted in red.
In this case the target of 33 is less than 50 so a division is not possible. Put a 0 in the answer to show this and 0s below the 33.
Leaving out the 0 from the answer line when this occurs is one of the easiest mistakes to make with long division.
