Answer:

0.1x+0.15(50-x)= 50*0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

50 ml of 12% solution has 50*0.12 ml of alcohol

x ml of 10% solution has x*0.1 ml of alcohol

(50-x) ml of 15% solution has (50-x)*0.15 ml of alcohol

The equation to solve is:

0.1x+0.15(50-x)= 50*0.12

The 30 members of a choir are trying to raise at least $1,500 to cover travel costs to a singing camp. They already have $600. W

ryzh [129]

The choir members need $1500, but they have $600. Therefore, they need $1500-$600=$900 more.

Call a the average amount raised by a member. We see that 30a >= $900. Dividing by 30, we find that a >= $30, so the average member must raise at least $30.

Suppose we want to choose 2 objects, without replacement, from the 5 objects pencil, eraser, desk, chair, and lamp. (a)How many

BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) 20 ways

b) 10 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order of selection/choice matters, we use Permutations to find the number of ways and if the order of selection/choice does not matter, we use Combinations to find the number of ways.

Part a)

We have to chose 2 objects from a group of 5 objects and order of choice matters. This is a problem of permutations, so we have to find 5P2

General formula of permutations of n objects taken r at time is:

$nPr=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Using the value of n=5 and r=2, we get:

$5P2=\frac{5!}{(5-2)!} =20$

Therefore, we can choose 2 objects from a group of 5 given objects if the order of choice matters.

Part b)

Order of choice does not matter in this case, so we will use combinations to find the number of ways of choosing 2 objects from a group of 5 objects which is represented by 5C2.

The general formula of combinations of n objects taken r at a time is:

$nCr=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Using the value of n=5 and r=2, we get:

$5C2=\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} =10$

Therefore, we can choose 2 objects from a group of 5 given objects if the order of choice does not matters.
