Answer:

x = 50 grs

y = 50 grs

Step-by-step explanation:

" x "   is quantity of bronze of 5% tin

" y "   is quantity of bronze of 45% tin

The worker needs 100 grs of bronze and this bronze must be 25% tin

The mathematical expression for the 100 grs condition is:

x + y = 100

And the The mathematical expression for the % condition is:

0,05*x  + 0.45*y  = 0,25 * ( x + y )

The system is:

x + y = 100

0,05*x + 0,45*y = 0,25* ( x + y )

Solving this system we get values of x and y

y = 100 - x

0,05*x  + 0,45* ( 100 - x ) = 0,25 * ( x + 100 - x )

0,05*x  + 45 - 0,45*x = 0,25*( 100 )

0,05*x  + 45 - 0,45*x  = 25

- 0,4*x  = -45 + 25

x = 20/0,4            x = 50  grs

and y = 50 grs

jamal is making pancakes. He has 6 3/4 cups of batter, but he needs a total of 12 cups. How much more batter does Jamal need?
vampirchik [111]
Jamil has already 6 3/4 cups of butter.
He need 12. SO in order to get the needed butter, we subtract 6 3/4 to 12.

= 12 - 6 3/4
= 11 4/4 - 6 3/4
= 5 1/4

So Jamil needs 5 1/4 cups of butter to achieve the 12 cups.
