The princess of the Kingdom of Abundance accidentally drops her magic salamander's feeding bowl into a fire. She orders a new feeding bowl to be made out of Dragon Alloy #18, which is 86% magic steel and the rest titanium. The
dwarfs have a lot of Dragon Alloy #33, which is 28% titanium. How much of
that alloy and how much magic steel should they combine to make 700 grams of Dragon alloy #18?

Respuesta :

350 grams of magic steel and 350 grams of dragon alloy #33 is needed to make 700 grams of Dragon alloy #18.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of magic steel and y represent the amount of alloy #33, hence:

(0 * x) + (y * 0.28) = 700(1 - 0.86)   (1)

Also:

x + (1 - 0.28)y = 0.86(700)    (2)

From both equations:

x = 350, y = 350

350 grams of magic steel and 350 grams of dragon alloy #33 is needed to make 700 grams of Dragon alloy #18.
