How much of a 90% alloy must be combined with 70% gold alloy in order to get 60 ounces of an 85% gold alloy?

Leona [12618]

Let X be the amount of 90% alloy and Y be the amount of 70% alloy. The equations are: x + y = 60 0.9x + 0.7y = 0.85 * 60 By substituting, we have: 0.9x + 0.7(60 - x) = 0.85 * 60 This simplifies to: (0.9 - 0.7)x = (0.85 - 0.7)*60 Solving for x yields: x = (0.85 - 0.7)*60/(0.9 - 0.7) x = 45 ounces For Y, we find: y = 60 - 45 y = 15 ounces
