Of 24 pounds of salt water, 8% is salt. of another mixture, 4% is salt. how many pounds of the second mixture should be added to the first mixture in order to get a mixture of 5% salt. write an equation to represent the total amount of salt water, in pounds, present. let x represent the total amount of 4% salt water, let y represent total amount of the end 5% salt solution.

8

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
