No, Mike presented the ratio based on the change compared to the new amount. He ought to have utilized the ratio of the change against the original amount, which is represented as 55/275, or 20%.

20%
.8 is obtained from dividing 220 by 275
Then, 100% minus 80% equals 20%.

From a full 50-liter container of a 40% concentration of acid, x liters are removed and replaced with 100% acid. (A) Write the a
tester [12383]

Answer:

A) 20+0.6x

B) Domain is [0, 50] (inclusive)

C) 8.33 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there is a 40% acid concentration in a 50-litre container.

The quantity of acid in this container amounts to 40% of 50 litres.

Quantity of acid = \frac{40}{100} \times 50 = 20\ litre

x litres are extracted.

The acid volume removed equals 40% of x litre.

Remaining acid in the container thus becomes = (20 - 40% of x) litre

This is then substituted with pure acid.

Final acid content in the container is therefore = (20 - 40% of x + 100% of x) litre

Quantity of acid in the final mixture:

20 - \dfrac{40}{100} \times x + \dfrac{100}{100} \times x\\\Rightarrow 20 +\dfrac{100-40}{100}x\\\Rightarrow 20 +\dfrac{60}{100}x

Answer A) Final mixture acid content = 20+0.6x

Answer B) x cannot exceed 50 litres (the container's initial volume) and must be at least 0 litres.

Thus, the domain is [0, 50] (inclusive)

Answer C)

For the final mixture to contain 50% acid.

The acid volume = 50% of 50 litres = 25 litres

By applying the equation:

20+0.6x =25\\\Rightarrow 0.6x =5\\\Rightarrow \bold{x =8.33\ litres}
