how much of an alloy that is 20% copper should be mixed with 600 ounces of an alloy that is 70% copper in order to get an alloy that is 30% copper
:
Let x = amt of 20% copper required to accomplish this
:
.20x + .70(600) = .30(x+600)
:
.20x + 420 = .30x + 180
.20x - .30x = 180 - 420
-.10x = -240
x =
x = 2400 oz of 20% copper required
