Hanna makes her own furniture polish using thirty percent vinegar and seventy percent olive oil. Write and solve an equation to determine how much total solution she made if she used 9 tablespoons of vinegar. Show your work. Answer

Parth (parthkohli):

What does this mean? This means that 30% of the solution is 9 tablespoons.

Parth (parthkohli):

If 30% is 9 tablespoons, how much is 70%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure..

Parth (parthkohli):

If 30% is 9 tablespoons, how much would 100% be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know.. lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This math question is hard for me.

Parth (parthkohli):

\[\dfrac{30}{100}x = 9\]Solve for \(x\) to get 100%

Parth (parthkohli):

Can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, do you know what the question was?

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70% vinegar

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, no 70% vinegar

Parth (parthkohli):

Solve for \(x\) to get 100%.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and, 30% olive oil

Parth (parthkohli):

Once you know 100%, you can easily get 70% right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how much solution will she have if she used 9 tablespoons of vinegar? and yeah I guess..

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, then you just have to get 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just dont know how to solve it, that's all.

Parth (parthkohli):

Multiply both sides by \(\dfrac{100}{30}\)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean 30/100?

Parth (parthkohli):

No, 100/30 :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By the way, I'm so sorry about this.. I'm horrible at math :[

Parth (parthkohli):

LOL me too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm in the 7th grade. I do FLVS...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, How do I solve the problem all together?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm guessing you don't know..lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth? ._.
