Shelby mixes a 25% bleach solution with 5 cups of a 10% bleach solution, resulting in a 20% bleach solution. The table shows the

amount of each solution used. A table titled Bleach Solution showing Cups, Bleach concentration, and Total. The first row shows 10 percent Bleach with 5, 0.10, and 0.5. The second row shows, 25 percent bleach, with x, 0.25, and 0.25 x. The third row shows Mixture, with 5 plus x, 0.20, and 3. What is the value of x? 1 3 10 24

Answer:

The value of x is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of equations to solve this.

Cups of 25% bleach solution used = x

Cups of 1-% bleach solution used = 5

Cups of solution we get = y

The first equation becomes:

x + 5 = y

Using the decimal forms of each percentage solution

25% solution for x cups = 0.25x

10% solution for 5 cups = 0.1(5)

20% solution for y cups = 0.2 y

The second equation becomes:

0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y

So the system of equations is:

x + 5 = y

0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y

Solve both equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y:

x = 10 cups

y = 15 cups

Perform the following computations. retail price of steel-belted radial tire = $89.50 discount offered = 10% federal tax = 12% l
RUDIKE [14]
For the answer to the question above
Retail price of steel-belted radial tire = $89.50 
Discount offered = 10% = $8.95 
Value before federal tax = $89.50 - $8.95 = $80.55 
Federal tax = 12%=$80.55(0.12) =$9.67 
Local sales tax = 5% =$80.55(0.05)=$4.03 

Selling price = $80.55 +$9.67+$4.03 =$94.25
