Answer:
1. 8.85 quarts
2. 44.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
In 15 quarts of a solution with percentage of antifreeze = 35%
Amount of antifreeze = 35% × 15
= 0.35 × 15
= 5.25 quarts
that solution is mixed with 5 quarts of a solution with percentage of antifreeze = 72%
Amount of antifreeze = 72% × 5
= 0.72 × 5
= 3.6 quarts
Total amount of mixture = 15 quarts + 5 quarts = 20 quarts
1. Now we will calculate the total amount of antifreeze in the resulting mixture.
= 5.25 + 3.6 = 8.85 quarts
2. The percentage of the resulting mixture is antifreeze
= [tex]\frac{8.85}{20}\times 100[/tex]
= 44.25%
1. total amount of antifreeze is 8.85 quarts
2. the percentage of antifreeze is 44.25%
