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
Answer:
The earnings gap, over a career spanning 30 years, between men and women totals $1,200,150
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculated annually.
The typical male earns $90,761 each year.
The typical female earns $50,756 per annum.
Therefore, the annual difference is:
90,761 - 50,756 = 40,005
Across 30 years:
30*40,005 = 1,200,150
The earnings gap over a 30-year career, when comparing men and women, is $1,200,150
