Answer:

There are 2 ounces of 50% silver

There are 8 ounces of 75% silver

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of silver times the amount of silver + the percentage of silver times the amount of silver = The percentage of silver times the  total amount of silver

We will put A in the first spot and B in the second spot  and The total on the right

We will take x ounces of A at 50%

We need 10 ounces of the total

10-x  is the amount we need for B  (  The amount in A Plus the amount in B has to equal 10)

We have (10-x) at 75% for B

We have 10 ounces at 70% for The total

 .50 *x + .75*(10-x) = .70*10

.5x +  .75*(10-x) = 7

Distribute

.5x +7.5 - .75x =7

Combine like terms

-.25x + 7.5 = 7

Subtract 7.5 from each side

-.25x +7.5-7.5 =7-7.5

-.25x =-.5

Divide by -.25 on each side

-.25x/-.25 = -.5/-.25

x =2

There are 2 ounces of 50% silver

To find how many ounces of 75% silver

10-x = 10-2 = 8

There are 8 ounces of 75% silver

What is mean, median, mode,and range.
Alex17521 [72]
Mean is the same as the average
median is the middle number
mode is the number that is used most often
range is the highest number minus the lowest number

example : 
2,3,3,5,7

u find the mean by adding up all the numbers, then dividing by how many numbers there are. (2 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 7) / 5 = 20/5 = 4 (the mean)

the median would be the middle number, and that would be 3

the mode would be the number that appears the most..that would be 3 because it appears twice.

the range is the highest - lowest : 7 - 2 = 5 (the range)...bur dont get this confused by the interquartile range..it is not the same as the range.
