Answer: 490 grams of the first alloy should be used.
30 grams of the second alloy should be used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the weight of the first alloy in grams that should be used.
Let y represent the weight of the second alloy in grams that should be used.
A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 15% gold and 20% lead. This means that the amount of gold and lead in the first alloy is
0.15x and 0.2x
The second alloy contains 30% gold and 50% lead. This means that the amount of gold and lead in the second alloy is
0.3y and 0.5y
If the alloy to be made contains 82.5 g of gold, it means that
0.15x + 0.3y = 82.5 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
The second alloy would also contain 113 g of lead. This means that
0.2x + 0.5y = 113 - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 0.2 and equation 2 by 0.15, it becomes
0.03x + 0.06y = 16.5
0.03x + 0.075y = 16.95
Subtracting, it becomes
- 0.015y = - 0.45
y = - 0.45/- 0.015
y = 30
Substituting y = 30 into equation 1, it becomes
0.15x + 0.3 × 30 = 82.5
0.15x + 9 = 82.5
0.15x = 82.5 - 9 = 73.5
x = 73.5/0.15
x = 490
Answer:
the answer is 1.0893×10 it is now in scientific notation
answer= x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
We have, 35% × x = 7
or,
35
100
× x = 7
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 35,
we have x = 7 ×
100
35
x = 20
If you are using a calculator, simply enter 7×100÷35, which will give you the answer.
Answer: the value of the account after 6 years is $101559.96
Step-by-step explanation:
If $64,000 is invested in an IRA account, then
Principal = $64,000
So P = 64,000
The rate at which $64000 was compounded is 8%
So r = 8/100 = 0.08
If it is compounded once in a year, this means that it is compounded annually (and not semi annually, quarterly or others). So
n = 1
We want to determine the value of the account after 6 years, this means
time, t = 6
Applying the compound interest formula,
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
A = amount after n number of years
A = 64000( 1 + 0.08/1)^1×6
A = 64000(1.08)^6
A= 64000×1.58687432294
A= 101559.956668416
Approximately $101559.96 to 2 decimal places
