    A jewelry craftsman needs 100 grams of gold alloy, of 75 % pure gold for his products. Only two alloys of gold are available from a supplier. The first is 80 % pure gold and the other is 60% pure gold. How many grams of 80% gold alloy must he use to suit his requirement?
    Others20 % 40%25%
    Gold80 % 60%75%
    --x 100-x100

    \(0.80(x) = 0.6 (100-x) = 100 (0.75)\)

    \(x = 75 \text{grams}\)
