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.
I think the answer is c but i may be wrong, try using desmos online graphing calculator
Distance to checkpoint A from starting line = 20 yards.
Then from A to B distance = 12 yards.
Let us take starting point C.
So, it would make a right triangle.
We have AB = 12, AC = 20, we need to find BC, that is Hypotenuse of the right triangle.
According to Pythagoras theorem:




BC = 23.32.
<h3>Therefore, 23.32 yards is the distance from Checkpoint B to the starting line.</h3>
