Therefore the third container contains $\frac{735}{17}\%$ = 43.23 % acid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, One container is filled with the mixture that 25% acid. 55% acid is contain by second container.

Let the volume of first container be x cubic unit.

Since the volume of second container is 55% larger than the first.

Then the volume of the second container is

$= (V\times \frac{100+55}{100})$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{155}{100}V$ cubic unit.

The amount of acid in first container is

$=V\times \frac{25}{100}$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{25}{100}V$ cubic unit.

The amount of acid in second container is

$=(\frac{155}{100}V \times \frac{55}{100})$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{8525}{10000}V$ cubic unit.

Total amount of acid $=(\frac{25}{100}V+\frac{8525}{10000}V)$ cubic unit.

$=(\frac{2500+8525}{10000}V)$ cubic unit.

$=(\frac{11025}{10000}V)$ cubic unit.

Total volume of mixture $=(V+\frac{155}{100}V)$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{100+155}{100}V$ cubic unit.

$=\frac{255}{100}V$ cubic unit.

The amount of acid in the mixture is

$=\frac{\textrm{The volume of acid}}{\textrm{The amount of mixture}}\times 100 \%$

$=\frac {\frac{11025}{10000}V}{\frac{255}{100}V}\times 100\%$

$=\frac{735}{17}\%$

Therefore the third container contains $\frac{735}{17}\%$ acid.

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200. after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes 1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
