Find the cost per ounce of a mixture of 30 oz of an alloy that costs $4.50 per ounce, 40 oz of an alloy that costs $3.50 per ounce, and 30 oz of an alloy that costs $3.00 per ounce
--------------------
The total cost of the mix is
30*4.5 + 40*3.5 + 30*3 = 135 + 140 + 90
= $365 for 100 ounces.
That's $3.65/oz
