A scientist mixes water (containing no salt) with a solution that contains 30% salt. She wants to obtain 180 ounces of a mixture
that is 15% salt. How many ounces of water and how many ounces of the 30% salt solution should she use?
1 answer:
Answer:
water : 90 ounces
salt solution: 90 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:
θ\ 6 degrees
\
\ so the θ= 180-90-6 =84 degrees so we need to find x
20m \ tan (84)=x/20
____ \ x=20 tan(84)
x x=190.287
