A chemist would like to dilute a 90-cc solution that is 5% acid to one that is 3% acid. How much water must be added to accomplish this task? (cc stands for cubic centimeters)

The amount of water must be added to this task = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount of water added = x

Then from the given conditions

A chemist would like to dilute a 90-cc solution that is 5% acid to one that is 3% acid. So

90 (0.05) = 0.03 ( 90 + x )

4.5 = 2.7 + 0.03 x

0.03 x = 1.8

x = 60

Therefore the amount of water must be added to this task = 60

mark brainliest and have a great day!

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
