To solve this problem, we need to calculate the composition of the new alloy C that is created by mixing equal quantities of two alloys, A and B, and deduce the amount of gold in C based on the given information.
Here are the steps to solve the problem:
Given that the copper content in C is 10 kg:
We solve for \(x\):
Now, substituting value of \(x\) back to find gold content in C:
Thus, the amount of gold in alloy C is 14 kg.
