(50 - x) is the amount of the 15% Alcohol solution to use. If you solve for x first.
<span>0.10x + 0.15(50 – x) = 0.12(50)
0.10x - 0.15x + 7.5 = 6
-0.05x + 7.5 = 6
7.5 - 6 = 0.05x
1.5 = 0.05x
1.5/0.05 = x
30 mL = x

Then the 15% solution: 50 - 30 = 20 mL

PLEASE HELP!
Kay [80]

Answer:

77 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 inch = 3 miles in map

We are also given the actual distance between City A and City B = 231 miles.

In order to get the distance in inches = Distance between City A and City B in miles/ 3

We are dividing the distance by 3 to get the distance in inches.

So,

Distance on map = 231/3

= 77 inches

I am an odd number I am less than 100 the sum of my digits is 12 I am a multiple of 15 what number am I
ivolga24 [154]

The answer is 75.


Let's look at your problem shall we:


Odd number: It should end with the numbers 1,3,5,7, and 9.

The number is less than 100: It should be from the number 1-99

Sum of digits: 12

Multiple of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90.


We can rule out 30, 60, and 90 because they are even.

1+5 = 6; 4+5=9; 7+5 = 12


You are left with 75.

James and Terry open a savings account that has a 2.75% annual interest rate, compounded monthly. They deposit $500 into the acc
katovenus [111]

Answer:

<h2>Option A is the answer(here the answer is calculated taking the whole value, without approximating it to a nearest value)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual interest rate is 2.75%. Hence, the monthly interest rate is \frac{2.75}{12}

The amount will be compounded (20\times12) = 240 times.

Every month they deposits $500.

In the first month that deposited $500 will be compounded 240 times.

It will be 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{240}

In the second month $500 will be deposited again, this time it will be compounded 239 times.

It will give 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{239}

Hence, the total after 20 years will be 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{240} + 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{239} + ........+ 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{1} = 160110.6741
