Liters of solution Percent(as a​ decimal) Liters of pure dye

Question

x 0.20 ?
y 0.59 ?
260. 0.50 ?

Answer 1

To find the number of liters of pure dye in each solution, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Liters of pure dye} = \text{Liters of solution} \times \text{Percent (as a decimal)} \]

Let's break it down for each solution:

1. For the first solution (x liters, 0.20): \[ \text{Liters of pure dye} = x \times 0.20 \]

2. For the second solution (y liters, 0.59): \[ \text{Liters of pure dye} = y \times 0.59 \]

3. For the third solution (260 liters, 0.50): \[ \text{Liters of pure dye} = 260 \times 0.50 = 130 \text{ liters of pure dye} \]

Now, if you want to calculate the liters of pure dye for the first two solutions (x and y), we need their respective values. If you have additional information regarding x and y (e.g. their total or any relationships between them), you can substitute those values to calculate the liters accordingly.

For completeness, if you want to express the relationships in terms of x and y, you might have additional constraints or equations that you'd need to consider, so please provide that information if available.
