Answer:
20kg of 25% copper alloy
30kg of 60% copper alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 kinds of metal, first metal(A) have 25% copper while the second metal(B) has 60% copper. The metalworker want to create 50kg of metal, which means the total weight of both metals is 50kg (A+B = 50). The metalworker also want the metal made of a 46% which is 23kg(0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46*50). From these sentences, we can derive 2 equations. We can solve this with substitution.
A+B = 50
A= 50-B
Let's put the first equation into the second.
0.25A + 0.6B = 0.46 *50
0.25(50-B) + 0.6B =23
12.5 - 0.25B + 0.6B =23
0.35B=23 -12.5
B= 10.5/ 0.35= 30
Then we can solve A
A= 50-B
A= 50-30
A=20
Answer:
25 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that "fits neatly" means "fills" so that the area of the painting is the same as the area of the square. Put the numbers in the formula and do the arithmetic.
A = (5 yd)² = 5² yd² = 25 yd²
66,000*0.15
9,900*5
49,500+66000
The answer is 115.500
I'm not sure if the whole thing is correct, but here is the easier way:
66,000(1+1.15)^5
