Answer:
Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each ounce of the 14% copper contains 0.14 ounce of pure copper.
Each ounce of the 23% copper contains 0.23 ounce of pure copper.
Each ounce of the 18.1% copper contains 0.181 ounce of pure copper.
Use x ounces of the 14% and y ounces of the 23% to make 90 ounces of 18.1% alloy.
x+y = 90
y = 90-x
0.14x + 0.23y = 0.181·90
0.14x + 0.23(90-x) = 16.29
0.14x + 20.7 - 0.23x = 16.29
-0.09x + 20.7 = 16.29
4.41 = 0.09x
x = 49
y = 90-x = 41
Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.
50 1/2 = 50.5
50.5 + -12.3
When adding a negative number to a positive number, it basically becomes just subtraction so 50.5 + -12.3 means 50.5 - 12.3
50.5 - 12.3 = 38.2
42/7=6 i believe is what you are looking for
Answer:
$135
Step-by-step explanation:
Paperback=$4.75
Hardcover=$11.50
Multiply 4.75 and 20=95
Multiply 11.50 and 20=230
Subtract 230 and 95=135
so it would be $135
