Ametalworker has a metal alloy that is 30? % copper and another alloy that is 55? % copper. how many kilograms of each alloy should the metalworker combine to create 90 kg of a 50? % copper? alloy?

18 kilograms of 30% copper alloy is mixed with 72 kilograms of 55% copper alloy to makes  90 kg of a 50% copper alloy .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the kilogram of 30% copper used to make alloy be x .

Let us assume that the kilogram of 55% copper used to make alloy be y .

As given

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 30% copper and another alloy that is 55% copper.

The metalworker combine to create 90 kg of a 50% copper alloy .

Equation becomes

x  + y = 90

30% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.30

55% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.55

50% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.50

Equation becomes

Concentration of 30% copper alloy × Number of kilograms of 30% copper alloy used + Concentration of 55% copper alloy × Number of kilograms of 55% copper alloy used = Concentration of 50% copper alloy × Number of kilograms of 50% copper alloy .

0.30x + 0.55y = 0.50 × 90

Simplify the above equation

30x + 55y = 4500

Two equation becomes

x  + y = 90

30x + 55y = 4500

Multiply x  + y = 90 by 30 and subtracted form 30x + 55y = 4500 .

30x - 30x + 55y - 30y = 4500 - 2700

25y = 1800

y = 72 kilograms

Putting the value of y in the equation .

x  + 72 = 90

x = 90 - 72

x = 18 kilograms

Therefore 18 kilograms of 30% copper alloy is mixed with 72 kilograms of 55% copper alloy to makes  90 kg of a 50% copper alloy .

439400

step-by-step explanation:

130^2 = 16900

16900*26 = 439400

part 1 answer = 8

part 2 answer = 72

step-by-step explanation:

part 1 explanation = add all of the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you have. so, 200/25 = 8.

part 2 explanation = not gonna lie, this is hard to explain, so just google how to do it.
