Carl and Deshaun are each mixing solutions in a flask. Carl’s flask has x milliliters of liquid. Deshaun’s flask has 30% more milliliters than Carl’s flask. Which expression could be used to represent the number of milliliters of liquid in Deshaun’s flask?

Answers

  1. The expression y= 0.3x+x could be used to represent the number of milliliters of liquid in Deshaun’s flask.

    What is Equation?

    Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.
    Given that Carl and Deshaun are each mixing solutions in a flask.
    Carl’s flask has x milliliters of liquid.
    Deshaun’s flask has 30% more milliliters than Carl’s flask.
    Let us convert 30% to decimal value by dividing 30 with hundred.
    30%=30/100=0.3
    Let y represents the number of milliliters of liquid in Deshaun’s flask
    As given Deshaun’s flask has 30% more milliliters than Carl’s flask.
    So, y= 0.3x+x
    Hence the expression y= 0.3x+x could be used to represent the number of milliliters of liquid in Deshaun’s flask.

  2. Deshaun’s flask will be represented by “y”

    y= .30x + x

    If Carl’s flask has 2 mL, the equation would be used as follows:
    y= .30(2) + 2
    y= .60 + 2
    y= 2.60 mL
