You can put this solution on YOUR website! An alloy of metals is 25% copper another alloy is 50% copper. How much of each alloy is used to make 1000 grams of an alloy with 45% copper.
:
Let x = amt of 25% copper required
Then
(1000-x) = amt of 50% copper required:
:
A simple equation:
.25x + .50(1000-x) = .45(1000)
