$\color{blue}{\text{(a)}79.8\text{ ppb}}$ $\color{blue}{\text{(b)}87.7\text{ ppb}}$

Work Step by Step

To find the amount $y$ of ozone after filtration $140-0.43(140)=y$ $140-60.2=y$ $\color{blue}{\text{(a)}79.8\text{ ppb}}$ To find the amount, $x$, of initial ozone the filter can reduce below $50$ ppm: $x-0.43x<50$ $0.57x<50$ $x<87.7$ $\color{blue}{\text{(b)}87.7\text{ ppb}}$
