Question

16 ounce birdseed mix contains 10 percent sesame seed by weight how much sesame seed must be added to produce aq mix

Answer 1

Explanation:

We have 16 Oz birdseed. And 10% is sesame seed.

At 10% of 16 Oz we have 10100×16=1.610100×16=1.6 Oz sesame seeds

Now lets say we add xx oz of sesame seeds more to the mixture.

Total weight of sesame seeds in the new mixture=1.6 +x.

Weight of the mixture= 16+x. (Remember you added extra weight to the total mixture not just the sesame part)

Now the new mixture has to be 20% sesame by weight

1.6+x16+x=201.6+x/16+x=20

1.6+x16+x=0.21.6+x/16+x=0.2

or 1.6+x=0.2(16+x)1.6+x=0.2(16+x)

or 1.6+x=3.2+0.2x1.6+x=3.2+0.2x

or 0.8x=1.60.8x=1.6

Thus x=2x=2 Oz.
