Question

a goldsmith combined an alloy that costs $4.40 per ounce with an alloy that costs $1.90 per ounce. how many ounces of each were used to make a mixture of 200 oz costing $2.60 per ounce?

Answer 1

4.4x + 1.9(200-x) = 520

4.4x +  380 - 1.9x = 520

x = 56

56 ounces of the $4.40 per ounce alloy

200 - 56 = 144 ounces of the $1.90 per ounce alloy

Answer 2

$76.92 is what the answer is
