Answer:
a,c,d
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L be the low copper alloy and H be the high copper alloy.
We need 0.15L + 0.60H = 0.42 and L + H = 100
L=100 - H
Substituting this into the second equation for L, we get:
0.15(100-H) + 0.60H = 0.42(H+L)
15 - 0.15H + 0.60H = 0.42(H+100-H)
15 + 0.45H = 0.42(100)
0.45H = 42 - 15 = 27
H = 27/.45 = 60 lbs
Back substitution, L = 40 lbs.
The answer is 111.5 :) :-)
