Fifteen percent of the pigment in paint color A is black. Sixty percent of the pigment in paint color B is black. An unknown amount of paint color B is mixed with 40 ml of paint color A, resulting in a paint that contains 25% black pigment. Which equation can be used to solve for x, the total amount of paint in the mixture of the two colors? 0.15(40) + 0.6x = 0.25(40 + x) 0.15(40) + 0.6(x - 40) = 0.25(x) 0.15(40) + 0.6x = 0.25(40 - x) 0.15(40) + 0.6(x + 40) = 0.25(x)
0.15(40) + 0.6(x - 40) = 0.25(x)
Giuliana has 22 quarters and dollar coins worth a total of $10.75. Which equation can be used to find d, the number of dollar coins Giuliana has? d - 22 + 0.25d = 10.75 0.25d + 22 - d = 10.75 0.25(22 - d) + d = 10.75 d + 0.25(d - 22) = 10.75
0.25(22 - d) + d = 10.75
Brass is made from a mixture of copper and other elements. A mixture that is 80% copper is combined with a mixture that is 60% copper, resulting in 100 pounds of brass that is 65% copper. Which equation can be used to find x, the amount of 60% mixture used to create the 65% mixture? 0.8(100 - x) + 0.6x = 100(0.65) 0.6(100 - x) + 0.8x = 100(0.65) 0.8(100) + 0.6x = 0.65(100 - x) 0.6(x) + 0.8(100 + x) = 0.65
0.8(100 - x) + 0.6x = 100(0.65)
Milk and cream are mixed together for a recipe. The total volume of the mixture is 1 cup. If the milk contains 2% fat, the cream contains 18% fat, and the mixture contains 6% fat, how much cream is in the mixture? 1/5 cup 1/4 cup 3/4 cup 4/5 cup
1/4 cup
Shelby mixes a 25% bleach solution with 5 cups of a 10% bleach solution, resulting in a 20% bleach solution. The table shows the amount of each solution used. What is the value of x? 1 3 10 24

A collection of 108 coins containing only quarters and nickels is worth $21. Which value could replace q on the chart? 21 108 21 - n 108 - n
108-n
A restaurant freezes a cherry and lime juice mixture to create slushes. Cherry juice costs $5 per quart, and lime juice costs $3 per quart. Each day, the restaurant spends a total of $36 on 8 quarts of juice. The restaurant manager organizes the information in the table below. Which equation can be used to determine the amount of cherry juice in each mixture? 5c + 3(8 - c) = 36 5c + 3(8 - c) = 8 c + (8 - c) = 8 c + 5 = 5c
5c + 3(8 - c) = 36
