Acontractor combined x tons of a gravel mixture that contained 10 percent gravel g, by weight, with y tons of a mixture that contained 2 percent gravel g, by weight, to produce z tons of a mixture that was 5 percent gravel g, by weight. what is the value of x ?

The value of x would be or

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain  5% gravel mixture,

Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,          

⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),

0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y

0.05x = 0.03y

Now, resultant mixture is z ton,

i.e.

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
