Answer the questions below. Do not do any rounding.
How many grams of copper are in the resulting mixture?
what percentage of the resulting mixture is copper? Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, ikleyn:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! An alloy is a mixture of metals. Suppose that a certain alloy is made by mixing
100 grams of an alloy that contains 28% copper with 28 grams of pure copper.
--------
How many grams of copper are in the resulting mixture?
128
----------
what percentage of the resulting mixture is copper?
P = percentage
100*28 + 28*100 = P*128
P = 5600/128 = 43.75%

Answer the questions below. Do not do any rounding.
How many grams of copper are in the resulting mixture?
what percentage of the resulting mixture is copper?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. There are = 28 + 28 = 56 grams of copper in the resulting alloy.
2. The copper percentage is 56/(100+28) = = 0.4375 = 43.75% in the resulting alloy.
