Asap a metal alloy weighing 4 mg and containing 20% iron is melted and mixed with 12 mg of a different alloy which contains 40% iron. which percent of the resulting alloy is iron? a)12%b)20%c)35%d)55%

35 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we multiply the amount by the percent and add them up to get the total amount times the percent

amount * percent + amount * percent = total amount * percent

4  * .20 + 12  * .40 = (4+12) * x

.8 + 4.8 = 16 x

Combine like terms

5.6 = 16x

Divide by 16

5.6/16 = 16x/16

.35 =x

35 percent

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
