tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Her son is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let son be x

Ellie is 4x

In 5 years time: Her son = x + 5

Ellie = 4x + 5

Given that she will then be 3 times as old as her son: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)

Solve x: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5) ,4x + 5 = 3x + 15

x = 10

How much of an alloy with 30% copper must be added to 25 pounds of a second alloy that is 20% copper to create a 27% alloy? 33.8

yuradex [85]

Answer:

58.33 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are already 25 lbs of alloy of copper

Of this 25 lbs, 20% is pure i.e. copper content = 25(0.5) = 5lbs.

Now available is

Copper Other metals

5 lbs 20 lbs

Let x lb of 30% copper is added.

Then new alloy will have 5+0.3x lb copper in total of 25+x lbs

Percentage pure = $\frac{5+0.3x}{25+x} =27%$

Simplify to get

$\frac{5+0.3x}{25+x} =\frac{27}{100} \\\\Cross multiply:\\27(25+x) =100(5+0.3x)\\500+30x =675 +27x\\3x = 175\\x = 175/3 = 58.33 lbs$

Hence answer is 58.33 lbs should be added.
