Question 818621: how much of an alloy that is 30 copper should be mixed with 100 ounces that is 70% copper in order to get an alloy that is 50% copper
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a = weight of 30% copper allow
w = weight of final mixture
---
30a + 70(100) = 50w
w = 100 + a
---
30a + 7000 = 50w
30a + 7000 = 50(100 + a)
30a + 7000 = 5000 + 50a
20a = 2000
a = 100
