Answer:

30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of 1 kg 23% copper bars, and y is the number of 1 kg 79% copper bars, then:

x + y = 48

0.23x + 0.79y = 0.44(48)

Substituting and solving:

0.23x + 0.79(48-x) = 0.44(48)

0.23x + 37.92 - 0.79x = 21.12

16.8 = 0.56x

x = 30

y = 48 - x

y = 18

You need 30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars.
