1)
A potato soaked up 30% of cooking oil, after a day of sitting dry it had 35liters of 20% of cooking oil left how much of 55% of cooking oil must be added to get 35liters of 20% of oil for the desired considerations?

So do I set it up like this
.30 = 35 and then solve for how much 55% is?
x .20

the answer would be 583.33Liters not sure if i did it right.


2)
A gentleman pays for his monthly phone billd $1200 plus .60 per extra minute.
Write equation for P(x) p=phone bill x=extra

P(x)=

So do I just 1200 x .60 to get the answer?

Or maybe its .60x + 1200=P(x)


It would be 720 right?
