A silversmith mixed 30 g of a 60% silver alloy with 70 g of a 20% silver alloy. What is the percent concentration of the resulting alloy?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This is typical mixture problem, learn this method and you can do most of them.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know that amt of the resulting alloy will be the total of the two inputs
\n" ); document.write( "30 + 70 = 100 gram
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Convert % to decimals
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = per cent (in decimals) of the resulting alloy:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".60(30) + .20(70) = x(100)
\n" ); document.write( "18 + 14 = 100x
\n" ); document.write( "32 = 100x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32/100 = .32 = 32%
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Pretty easy, right? \n" ); document.write( "
