Ashley mixes two types of soft drinks with different types of concentration: one soft drink has 20% sugar and the other drink has 45% sugar. Each can has 250 milliliters of soda. What is the sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink?

Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be 32.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar concentration of first drink = 20%

Volume of first soda = 250 ml

Sugar in first soda = 20% of 250 ...... (1)

Sugar concentration of second drink = 45%

Volume of second soda = 250 ml

Sugar in second soda = 45% of 250 ...... (2)

Let be the sugar concentration in resultant mixture.

Volume of mixture = 250 + 250 = 500 ml

Sugar in mixture = of 500 ml ...... (3)

Total sugar concentration (Adding (1) and (2)) and equating it to equation (3):

20% of 250 + 45% of 250 = of 500

Hence, Sugar concentration of the mixed soft drink will be 32.5%.

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
