A person wants to make a one ounce ring composed of Gold and Silver. One ounce of gold cost $600 and one ounce of silver cost $50. How much of each metal should be used if the cost is $200
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Weight Eq.::: g + s = 1 ounce
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq. :::600g + 50s = 200
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the Weight Eq by 50 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "50g + 50s = 50
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract that from the Value Eq. and solve for \"g\":
\n" ); document.write( "550g = 150
\n" ); document.write( "g = 3/11 ounce (amt of gold needed in the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Since g + s = 1, s = 8/11 ounce (amt. of silver needed in the mixture)
