The problem: one is 5% acid and one is 6.5% acid . You want to make 200ml of vinegar,with 6% acid. How many ml of each vinegar do you need to mix together?
My question: With percents I get confused, and I am not sure which variables you would use to set this up into two equations? 1 solutions
Answer 421967 by mananth(12270) on 2012-11-12 20:58:17 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let quantity of 5% acid required be x
Let quantity of 6.5% acid required be y
Mixture = 6%
Equate percentages
5%x+6.5%y=6%*200
multiply by 100
5x+6.5y=1200................(1)
Quantity
x+y=200.....................(2)
multiply equation (2) by -5
we get -5x-5y=-1000
Add this equation to (1)
we get
1.5y=200
y= 200/1.5
y=133.3 ml
x= balance amount= 66.67ml

Travel_Word_Problems/678995: A jet can fly 550mph in calm air. Traveling with the wind, the jet can fly 2400 miles in the same amount of time it takes to fly 2000 miles against the wind. Find the rate of the wind.
1 solutions
Answer 421750 by mananth(12270) on 2012-11-12 05:01:06 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!let rate of wind be x m/h
speed against wind 550-x m/h----------- 2000 miles
speed with wind = 550+x m/h------------2400 miles
time = d/r
time against = time with
2000/(550-x)= 2400/(550+x)
2000(550+x)=2400(550-x)
1100000+2000x=1320000-2400x
2400x+2000x=1320000-1100000
4400x=220000
x= 50 m/h

Travel_Word_Problems/678318: A car and a motorcycle set off from the same point to travel the same journey. The car has a start of four minutes before the motorcycle sets off. If the car travels at 80km/h and the motorcycle travels at 90km/h, how many kilometres will be travelled when the two vehicles are level?
1 solutions
Answer 421358 by mananth(12270) on 2012-11-10 07:22:47 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let the car and motorcycle meet after distance x
car speed = 80 km/h
motorcycle speed = 90 km/h
They both travel the same distance
The car takes 4 minutes more .= 4/60 = 1/15 hours
time = distance /speed
car time - motorcycle time = 1/15 hours
(x/80)-(x/90) = 1/15
LCD = 720
multiply equation by 720
9x-8x= 720/15
x= 48
They will meet after 48 km

Find the last term of perfect square
Last term = 1/2 the coefficient of 2nd. term squared
(1/2*1/6)^2
(1/12)^2= 1/144
add (1/44) to both sides
 ( taking the LCD
Take the square root of both sides
(z+(1/12)) = +/- (7/12)
z= -(1/12) +(7/12) --->1/2
OR
z= -(1/12) -(7/12) ---> -2/3

Travel_Word_Problems/674031: When the wind is blowing at 25 mph, a plane flying at a constant speed can travel 700 miles with the wind in the same about of time it can fly 600 miles against the wind. Find the speed of the plane.
please and thanks 1 solutions
Answer 418995 by mananth(12270) on 2012-10-30 20:47:45 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!plane speed x mph
wind speed 25 mph
Distance with wind 700 miles
Distance against wind 600 miles
speed with wind x + 25 mph
speed against x -25 mph
Time with wind= 700 /( x + 25 )
time against wind 600 / ( x -25 )
Time with wind = time against
700/(x+25)=600/(x-25)
divide by 100
7/(x+25)=6/(x-25)
7(x-25)=6(x+25)
7x-175=6x+150
7x-6x=175+150
x=325
speed of plane = 325 mph

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/674044: I need help solving this problem:
a couple wishes to rent a car for one day while on vacation. ford automobile rental want $26 per day and $0.16 per mile, while chevrolet for a day wants $23 per day and $0.18 per mile. after how many miles would the price to rent the chevrolet exceed the price to rent a ford? 1 solutions
Answer 418990 by mananth(12270) on 2012-10-30 20:36:07 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let x be the number of miles
Ford 26 + 0.16 x
chevrolet 23 + 0.18 x
Ford > chevrolet
26 + 0.16 x > 23 + 0.18 x
add -26 to both sides
26+0.16n-26>23 +0.18x-26
0.16 n- -23 > > 0.18 x -3
add -0.18 x
-0.02 x > -3
/ -0.02
x < 150
x should be less than 150 for Ford to be a better deal
OR Chevrolet will be expensive after 150 miles

Graphs/674036: is y=-2x,2y=x,4y=2x+4 a perpendicular or parallel 1 solutions
Answer 418985 by mananth(12270) on 2012-10-30 20:24:58 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!y=-2x,2y=x,4y=2x+4
Line l, y=-2x,slope (m) = -2
line p, 2y=x, slope (m) = 1/2
line n, 4y=2x+4 slope (m) = 1/2
line l is perpendicular line p & n
line p & line n are parallel
If the slopes are equal with different y intercepts then the lines are parallel.
if the product of the slopes is = -1 then the lines are peripendicular.

test/673131: The manager of a trust account invests 25% of a client's account in a money market fund which earns 8% annual simple interest, 40% in bonds which earn 10.5% annual simple interest, and the remainder in trust deeds which earn 13% annual simple interest. How much should be invested in each type of investment so that the total interest earned is $4300? 1 solutions
Answer 418497 by mananth(12270) on 2012-10-29 02:31:31 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!let the total investment be x
25x% @ 8%
40% @ 10.5% bonds
(x-(0.25x+0.4x) @ 13%
0.25x**8%+0.4x*10.5%+ (1-0.25x+0.4x)*0.13% = 4300
multiply by 100
8*0.25x+10.5*0.4x+0.35x*13=4300*100
2x+4.2x+4.55x=430000
10.75x=430000
x=430000/10.75
= 40,000
Total invested = $40,000
25% of 40,000@ 8% --> $10,000
40% of 40,000 @ 10.5% bonds ----->$ $16000
35% of 40,000 @ 13%---->$14000

Answer 418478 by mananth(12270) on 2012-10-28 22:36:13 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!a + 9 b = 1 .............1
a + 3 b = -5 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by 1
Multiply (2) by -3
1 a 9 b = 1
-3 a -9 b = 15
Add the two equations
-2 a = 16
/ -2
a = -8
plug value of a in (1)
1 a + 9 b = 1
-8 + 9 b = 1
9 b = 1 + 8
9 b = 9
b = 1
a -8

Travel_Word_Problems/673048: A passenger train's speed is 60mi/h and a freight trains speed is 40mi/h. the passenger train travels the same distance in 1.5 hour less time then the freight train. How long does each train take to make the trip?
I know d= r*t and t=d/r, but no where in the problem does it say what the overall time of the trip was, just that one train was 1.5 hr less. Please help. 1 solutions
Answer 418460 by mananth(12270) on 2012-10-28 21:20:28 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!let distance be x
passenger train speed = 60 mi/h
time pasanger train = x/60
Similarly time freight train = x/40
Difference between the two timings is 1.5
x/40 -x/60 = 1.5
LCD = 120
3x-2x=120*1.5
x= 180 miles
Passenger train takes 180/60 = 3 hours
Freight tain takes 180/40 = 4.5 hours

I have to solve the systems of equations by graphing 1 solutions
Answer 418277 by mananth(12270) on 2012-10-27 23:27:53 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!y= 3x -8
Assume values of x and plug in the equation to get values of y.
Plot the points
x 0 5 2
y= -8 7 -2
(x,y)(0,-8),(5, 7),(2-2)
6 x + -2 y = 8
y= 3 x -4
Assume values of x and plug in the equation to get values of y.
Plot the points
x 0 5 2
y= -4 11 2
(x,y) (0,-4),(5,11),( 2,2)
The slopes are same. The lines are parallel. Hence no solution to the system of equations

Find the slopes of AB,BC,CD,DA
Slope of AB

-3 1 1 4
slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
( 4 - 1 )/( 1 - -3 )
( 3 / 4 )
m(AB)= 3/4
M(BC)
x1 y1 x2 y2
4 0 1 4
slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
( 4 - 0 )/( 1 - 4 )
( 4 / -3 )
m= -4/3
m(CA)
x1 y1 x2 y2
4 0 0 -3
slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
( -3 - 0 )/( 0 - 4 )
( -3 / -4 )
m= 3/4
m(AD)

-3 1 0 -3
slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
( -3 - 1 )/( 0 - -3 )
( -4 / 3 )
m= -4/3
Two lines are having same slopes and two are having slopes negative reciprocal
So the angles formed are 90 degrees.
If the distances aer equal then the co ordinates form a square.

Answer 418063 by mananth(12270) on 2012-10-26 23:38:35 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!$4500--------------9.25%
x............13.5%
Total yield = 12%
4500*9.5%+13.5%(x)=12%*(4500+x)
multiply by 100
4500*9.5+13.5(x)=12(4500+x)
42750+13.5x=154000+12x
13.5x-12x=54000-42750
1.5x=11250
x= 7500
$ 7500 has to be invested to get a total return of 12%
