To state: The weight of each alloy, in grams, that is required to produce 80g of a new alloy that is 34% silver if the amount of 30% alloy is twice the amount of 22% alloy used. Stewart’s Metals has three silver alloys, first is 22% silver, another is 30% silver, and the third is 42% silver.
The weight of each alloy is 14.55g of the first alloy, 29.10g of the second alloy, and 36.35 of the third alloy.
Given information:
Stewart’s Metals ha three silver alloys, first is 22% silver, another is 30% silver, and the third is 42% silver.
Explanation:
Let’s take x as the number of grams of the 22% silver alloy, y as the number of grams of the 30% silver alloy, and z as the number of grams of the 42% silver alloy.
Now make equations using the given information.
Total amount of the new alloy is 80g which consists of all the given three alloys:
New alloy contains 34% silver:
In the new alloy, the amount of 30% alloy is twice the amount of 22% alloy used:
The three equations are:
Multiply the first equation by -0.42,
Now add equations (2) and (4),
Substitute the value of
Now substitute the value of
Now substitute the values of x and y in equation (1),
Therefore, the weight of each alloy, in grams, that is required to produce 80g of a new alloy that is 34% silver is 14.55g of the first alloy, 29.10g of the second alloy, and 36.35g of the third alloy.
