Answer:
- 12.5 ounces of 12% alloy
- 37.5 ounces of 24% alloy
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount (in ounces) of 24% alloy in the mix. Then the amount of 12% alloy is (50 -x). The amount of silver in the mix is ...
24%·x + 12%·(50 -x) = 21%·50
12x = 450 . . . . . . simplify, multiply by 100 (to eliminate %), and subtract 600
x = 37.5 . . . . . . . divide by 12
The jeweler needs to mix 37.5 ounces of 24% silver alloy with 12.5 ounces of 12% silver alloy to make 50 ounces of 21% silver alloy.

Let x be the number of child tickets he bought
Let y be the number of adult tickers he bought
① x+y=7 (child tickets+adult ticket=7 tickets in total)
② 2x+4y=24 (price of child tickets+price of adult tickets=$24 in total)
We may simply the second equation since all of the coefficients are divisible by 2.
① x+y=7
② x+2y=12
We can now use elimination by multiplying the second equation by -1.
② -(x+2y=12)
② -x-2y=-12
① x+y=7
② -x-2y=-12
Now putting the equations together,
-y=-5
y=5
x=2
Therefore he bought 2 child tickets and 5 adult tickets
