Moonshine Problem: How many gallons of 20% moonshine and how many gallons of 30% moonshine have to be mixed together to make 100 gallons of 25%
moonshine?
(x
= gallons of 20% moonshine; y = gallons of 30% moonshine.
20% moonshine is called 20% because 20% of any amount (like x) is PURE
MOONSHINE!)

The amount of gallons of 20% of moonshine required = 50gallons

The amount of gallons of 30% of moonshine required = 50gallons

Explanation:

We need to determine the amount of gallons of 20% of moonshine and amount of 30% of moonshine that is required to make 100gallons of 25% moonshine mixture

x = amount of gallons of 20% moonshine

y = amount of gallons of 30% moonshine

x(20% of moonshine) + y(30% of moonshine) = 100(25% of moonshine)

0.2x + 0.3y = 100(0.25)

0.2x + 0.3y = 25 ...equation (1)

Also the addition of the amount of each concentration = amount of mixtures

x + y = 100 equation (2)

Using elimination method:

Multiply equation 2 by 0.2 in order to eliminate x

0.2x + 0.2y = 0.2(100)

0.2x + 0.2y = 20 ...equation (3)

Subtract equation 3 from 1

0.2x -0.2x + 0.3y - 0.2y = 25-20

0.1y = 5

y = 5/0.1 = 50

The amount of gallons of 30% of moonshine required = 50gallons

Substitute for y = 50 in equation 1

0.2x + 0.3(50) = 25

0.2x + 15 = 25

0.2x = 25-15

0.2x = 10

x = 10/0.2 = 100/2

x = 50

The amount of gallons of 20% of moonshine required = 50gallons

Therefore the 50 gallons of 20% of moonshine and 50 gallons of 30% of moonshine is required to make 100gallons of 25% moonshine mixture

your answer is b hope that

i would like to you here, but i can't. you need to do this on your own, unless you have someone in your town to do it. "how the main character relates with other in your town" it is not my business to know where you live, this has to be done by you.
