Question 1141820
w = number of liters of water.
c = number of liters of cleaner.


first equation is w + c = t


this tells you that the number of liters of water plus the number of liters of cleaner equals a total of t liters.


you are then given that t = 3.


these are 2 equations that need to be solved simultaneously.


replace t in the first equation with t = 3 from the second equation and you get:


w + c = 3


you are then given that w = .65 * t and c = .35 * t


replace t with 3 and the equations becomes w = .65 * 3 and c = .35 * 3.


solve for w and c to get w = 1.95 and c = 1.05.


that's your solution.


the amount of water in the 3 liter spray bottle is 1.95 liters.
the amount of cleaner in the 3 liter spray bottle is 1.05 liters.
