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.

PLEASE I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF ONLY UR CORRECT.
patriot [66]

Answer:

Mary removed the dollar sign from (X.)

We know this because $4.00x$5.00=$20.00 so that’s correct and we know that $12.50x $4.00=$50.00. So, our only error here is that there is no dollar sign in our (X) numbers. So that is Mary’s mistake. We can correct it by simply adding a dollar sign to 20 to make $20.00 and adding another dollar sign to 50 to make $50.00

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps
