The company that you work for produces metal alloys. The alloy you are working on requires a makeup of 20% iron and 80% nickel, by weight. How many grams of iron should be added to 40 grams of nickel?​

Respuesta :

10 grams of Iron should be added to Nickel to make the alloy.

20% of the alloy is made of Iron and 80% is Nickel.

The weight of Nickel given so you can use this to find the total weight of the alloy assuming that total weight is x.

40 grams = 80% × alloy x

Alloy x = 40 / 80%

= 50 grams

Iron should be 20% of the full weight of the alloy:

= 20% x weight of Alloy x

= 20% x 50

= 10 grams

In conclusion, 10 grams of Iron should be added to create the alloy.
