Step-by-step explanation:

If x = the amount of 12% and y = the amount of 20%, then x + y = 80

Since we need 80 grams of 15%, 80(.15) = 12.

We are given that .12x + .20y = 12.

We can solve the first equation for x or y. Let's do x.

x = 80 - y

.12(80 - y) + .20y = 12

9.6 - .12y + .20y = 12

.08y = 2.4

y = 30

x = 80 - 30 = 50
